With the exception of one redundant brother (Jack, a "bold lad 10 years old"), Disney retains the whole famdamily (John Mills, Dorothy McGuire, James MacArthur, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran) and most of the menagerie too-one of his press releases proudly points out that the film contains "some 150 myriad animals.'' But except for the shipwreck and the tree house and one or two minor incidents, he abandons the book's plot and substitutes more photogenic, made-in-Hollywood situations...
...mother and father were married in the present City of Norfolk, I accept as a great honor the invitation of the city to place my papers, decorations and other mementos of my military service in its perpetual care and keeping." Thus last week did General of the Army Douglas MacArthur notify the birthplace of his mother that he was consigning his vast memorabilia to its custody; he also requested that he and his wife be buried in Norfolk. The city has big plans for MacArthur. It will renovate its 111-year-old courthouse (gradually to be vacated in favor...
...blood between two old men, Harry Truman, 76, and General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, 80, came to a boil again. On a TV chitchat program in Chicago, Truman was asked point-blank if he had ever been pressured to use the A-bomb during the Korean fighting.

They are converting several floors of each hotel for retirement living. There is a recreation room and kitchen, ramps instead of stairways where possible. Rents range from $35 a month for a room without meals to $125 for a bath and three...
...through an account of a herd of camels imported in 1855 for use by the U.S. Army in the deserts of the Southwest, San Antonio Lawyer Maury Maverick Jr., son of Texas' late pugnacious Congressman, came across a statement that, as a lad, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur had been thoroughly frightened by one of the animals. (Proving of little use, some of the camels were sold to circuses, others allowed to go wild, but the roving herd did not die out for decades.) Fascinated, Amateur Historian Maverick dashed off a note to the general asking...
