Many a Marine-from noncoms in the line to the Washington headquarters of General Lemuel Cornick Shepherd Jr., 20th Commandant of the Corps-had come to regard the Korean war not only as a frustrating mess, but as a downright dangerous and softening experience for new troops. "In World War II when you hit a rock," said one indignant master sergeant, "you knew that the enemy was getting your big punch. Here we are holding back. Kids who come up as replacements, even if they are regulars, don't know what the Marine Corps means." A colonel who approved...
...result, though not dull, is fairly distressing. No opera better lends itself to spectacle than Aida, and thanks to Lemuel Ayers' opulent sets and costumes and a $250,000 outlay in non-Confederate money, My Darlin' Aida is often bright spectacle enough.

Major General Lemuel Mathewson, U.S. commander in Berlin, fired off a protest to the Soviet authorities, citing the collusion by Communist police. In Bonn, all members of the Bundestag except the Communists and the presiding officers (who have to stay) walked out on a speech by Max Reimann, the Communist leader in West Germany. Radio station RIAS cut Reimann's speech off the air, substituted music; and another station that carried Reimann's remarks in full was snowed under by complaints. West Berlin officials began installing street barriers of their own along the sector line...
