The 10th Infantry and 3rd Armored Divisions were the first outfits to break into the city limits...

In his rougher dealings with possible assassins (the legend is that Starling can "sense" a crank in a crowd), gentlemanly Colonel Ed has been known to address a suspicious character as "pahdner." Ambassadors, foreign potentates, Supreme Court justices, Congressmen, newsmen and other citizens are "suh." Through five Administrations, suh, there have been gentlemen...
...what he wanted-and knew the soldiers wanted-was not easy. When Hey, Mac opened, there was a terrible to-do over its rough lyrics and rougher jokes. But Evans, arguing that Hey, Mac was for soldiers only, and that soldiers are not young ladies, carried the day. One skit that got the ax had been laid in the reception room of a brothel...
