...multitude by acts of valor or virtue in times of war, crisis or national frustration. He may come from any walk of life, so long as he fills the nation's need to elevate its vision and swell its pride. From Washington to Sergeant York, from Lindbergh to MacArthur, the U.S. has had its share of heroes.

After Washington came New York, eager to top the capital's welcome. Glenn himself was awed by the tumultuous Broadway parade as his motorcade inched through 4,000,000 roaring, swarming New Yorkers in a blizzard of ticker tape-3,474 tons of paper that buried Douglas MacArthur's 1951 record downfall of 3,249 tons. There was the inescapable luncheon at the Waldorf with hours of zephyrous speeches, and at the U.N. Glenn and his fellow astronauts chatted with the diplomats over champagne.

Reischauer knows that diplomacy is not a popularity contest. He arrived in Japan at a favorable moment, when a reaction against the earlier violence had already set in, and he now concedes that Predecessor MacArthur on the whole did a good job in a difficult period. Reischauer's own stiff tests still lie ahead.
