...rigid and uncompromising Marshall, such an act on the part of a fellow Army officer would be a deed of disloyalty to their commander in chief, Harry Truman-who also wanted the job. Ike thought it over for 24 hours and went in to see the President through a side door. He solemnly promised Truman that he would not run. So ran the story...

Abdullah's Arab Legion, the only force likely to cause Israel serious trouble, had done little but engage in an artillery and mortar duel with Jewish forces in Jerusalem.

Down the center aisle came a solemn single file: a black-robed verger, a crucifer, church dignitaries in black and scarlet, the tanned, white-topped "Red Dean" of Canterbury, 14 archbishops and finally the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury himself. The choir, in soaring descant, sang the words of Psalm 122-"I was glad when they said unto me: let us go into the house of the Lord...
