From the first, Tallent saw dismal Cabazon as a promised land. He bought a dilapidated parcel of land, divided it into lots, became publisher of the local weekly and president of the Chamber of Commerce. Then he waited. In 1954 came the sort of man that Tallent had been waiting for: Jerry Kosseff, a glib, messianic promoter from Hollywood. On the speaker's stand Kosseff was a Bible-quoting spellbinder. Recalls one Cabazonian: "Kosseff told us, 'Look around us. This is the Sinai Desert. All we have to do is stretch out our hands and the manna will...

He runs the reform institute personally, and to help him he picked a onetime Communist youth leader named Antonio Nunez...
Uniformed Dulles. Tough jobs came his way even after the war. He helped draft the NATO treaty, helped parcel out arms to U.S. allies as first director of the Office of Military Assistance (1949). As commander of the 11th Airborne Division (1950), he qualified after a week as a rated parachutist (five jumps) at 51. In Korea, Lemnitzer commanded the Seventh Infantry Division, won the Silver Star for gallantry in action, in 1955 took over full command of the United Nations Forces, succeeding Max Taylor, who had gone on to be the Army's Chief of Staff...
