Caesar was the first big by-liner to do it, and it's been going on ever since: when a general finishes a war, he sits down and writes about it. Last week this postwar prerogative got off to a pedestrian start when Major General Edward P. King Jr. led off with five articles (for NANA) about his internment in Jap prison camps.
