McKee recently leaned across a Pentagon barbershop chair to tell Defense Secretary Robert McNamara that Adams was the best man in either service he could possibly have found to run STRIKE. And Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay calls Adams "the most objective officer I have ever run across in the Army. He has an open mind...
