...would have unhindered access at any time to all objects of control." This kind of pretense at control lends itself to the absurdities of the truce inspection teams in Korea and Indo-China: unless the host nation defines an arsenal as nuclear, the inspectors would have no right to peek there...
...Malaga wine while keeping time with a multicolored duster (a present from Uncle Pablo); Doña Lola swayed happily to the rhythm, urging the dancers on with shouts of "Ole!" To show off the Picasso pictures, the family cheerfully struck matches to give Editor Bernier a first tantalizing peek. Back next day at 6 p.m. for a daylight look (the family sleeps all morning, siestas in the afternoon), Rosamond Bernier found a treasure trove of Picassos, most of them stacked dustily against the medical cabinets used by Dr. Pablin to keep plaster casts of his patients' deformed feet...
...wanderlusty Supreme Court Justice William O.

In short, he's going to read his TIME chronologically...

After World War II, his Tokyo staff prepared an elaborate history of MacArthur's exploits at which Army department historians were not allowed a peek. These "MacArthur histories" provide the basis for the best part of this unevenly documented book. Willoughby is happiest describing the Southwest Pacific campaigns in which MacArthur was so magnificently right, advancing by more than 100 amphibious landings to his promised Philippine return. An oldtime Leavenworth command-school lecturer with...
