As the Rolls-Royce rolled into Grosvenor Square, from which General Eisenhower had directed his victorious World War II armies (G.I.s called the square "Eisenhower Platz"), a husky, shirtsleeved man said: "We like him because we remember him from the war-that's why."

Another replied: "About bloody time, too." Next day all was still. The barrage was a final concentration to cover the last retreat of ist Airborne, or, as Paul says, "all that was left...
...Goodyear Theater (NBC, 9:30-10 p.m.). An old saw sharpened up for a new effort. When the head of the household dies and leaves no cash for the groceries, the butler comes through like a blueblood. This time it is called I Remember Caviar. Rerun...
