Montgomery, one of the Air Force's rising young (38) one-stars, moved into SAC's new headquarters at Offutt. For his deputy commander LeMay picked handsome, high-polished Thomas Sarsfield Power, 45, a bold, skillful pilot and something the Old Man is not: a diplomat and smoother-over. LeMay's chief of staff, tall, soft-spoken Major General August Walter Kissner, 44, is two other things LeMay is not: a West Pointer and a man who can do paper...
