...State Department protocol chief, going to a cocktail party given for the press by Admiral William F. Halsey. Then, at the wheel of an open convertible, he drove back to Washington at a steady 50-mile clip (several times hitting 65 on the straightaway). At Memorial Bridge a Secret Serviceman took over and Harry Truman rode soberly on to the White House, to pick up his cudgels...
Although the psychological pressures that complicate a serviceman's return to academic life have received careful attention from various offices, the pattern of readjustment is not yet clear.

End Jim Martin, a husky ex-Marine who swam ashore on a voluntary reconnaissance mission just before Tinian was invaded. And even if Perfectionist Leahy has not found him yet, Notre Dame surely has at least one express-train halfback up its sleeve somewhere. The real question is when he will be sprung. One good bet is squatty...
