...this week roared a U.S. C-54. It landed smoothly at Taipei's airfield. From the Bataan stepped General Douglas MacArthur. He was welcomed by Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, whose determined face had over the years become almost as familiar to history as Douglas MacArthur's lofty scowl. MacArthur, accompanied by Vice Admiral Arthur Struble, commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, had come to discuss the defenses of Formosa, which the U.S. is committed to guard against Red attack. Said MacArthur, shaking Chiang's hand: "How do you do, Generalissimo, it was nice of you to come down...
That brought down on Kansas City the icy scowl of the powerful North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. At its meeting three weeks ago, a special committee of the association recommended that Kansas City be dropped from its accredited list.

...good backfield man ("most valuable" player in the National pro league in 1928), slim Jimmy put on a mountain of weight as a coach, and with it a fat reputation as a football man who could talk without lacing his brows into a gridiron scowl. Once when he was Cardinal coach, he limped to his feet at a sport luncheon explaining that he was bothered by 1) an old knee injury, 2) a shot of morphine to quiet the knee, 3) a double Daiquiri to quiet the morphine. His stories usually pictured his own rampaging footballers (among them Marshall Goldberg...
