When he was an enlisted man, all the officers were monsters or morons. Now that he has an expensive home, family responsibilities and $20,000 a year, he is suddenly against Khrushchev and all like him, who must have loved him for all he did to help them sow disrespect in the old days...

"Once Kennedy was President," says Mauldin, "I didn't even give...
