...remain neither lieutenant colonel nor Ersenbeing for long. In 1941, he was given the temporary rank of colonel, then brigadier general (he was not permanently awarded the B. G.'s star until 1943). Five days after Pearl Harbor, Marshall ordered him to Washington to assess the situation in the Philippines. Next, Marshall asked for a paper on the organization of U.S. forces in Europe. On June 8, 1942, Ike submitted a document entitled "Directive for the Commanding General, European Theater of Operations."

Because of the "multiplier effect" of capital outlays, each dollar of such investment adds about $2.50 to the total economy. The phenomenon worries Washington for two reasons: 1) it has an immediate inflationary effect, and 2) it could lead to industrial overcapacity followed...
...disturbing and wildly funny work about snipers, obscene phone calls, air pollution, masturbation, hippie religion, and a photographer who takes pictures of shit--among other things. Andrew Duncan and Linda Lavin have just left the cast, but Vincent Gardenia and the stunning Elizabeth Wilson are among those who remain. At the CIRCLE-IN-THE-SQUARE, 159 Bleeker...
