At the beginning of the week, his casket was removed from Washington's National Cathedral. One witness of the transfer was Omar Bradley, 76, the last of the five-star generals, who saluted his wartime colleague with a sadly trembling hand. After the casket was taken to a spot near the Washington Monument, it was placed atop the horse-drawn gun carriage for the 1½-mile ride to the Capitol. Raven...
