...December Major General Laurence Keiser, who had commanded the 2nd Division since its arrival in Korea last summer, was relieved of his command. The official reason was that Keiser had pneumonia. Keiser was replaced by red-faced, outspoken Major General Robert B. ("Uncle Bob") McClure, a top staff man in the Pacific war who had once remarked that the "smell of a dead Jap is perfume to my nostrils...
Although Socialist Perrin is not suspected of being a Communist or a fellow traveler, he is certainly more acceptable to the Reds than Thibaud, who is an outspoken antiCommunist. When a learned scientific paper by Thibaud reporting a discovery concerning atomic nuclei was submitted to the Academy of Science, observers considered it more than a coincidence that two bright students of Joliot-Curie should immediately produce papers reporting similar findings.

Acheson's peril, however, lay not so much with critics of his foreign policy, as with its friends, who feared that his unpopularity jeopardized the policy. It was their outspoken worrying that lent credence to reports that within a month or two Acheson would quit. Most scuttlebutt simply had him returning to private law practice, but elaborate guessing said that he might step up to the Supreme Court and be replaced by Chief Justice Fred Vinson...
