...advancing the views of Generals Doolittle and Gavin, TIME has accepted at face value the statements of two officers renowned for extreme partisanship on behalf of their own services. There are military men of sound and sober judgment in Washington today who are willing to place national interest ahead of interservice politics. To the extent that the Indians in the Pentagon will let them, they are slowly succeeding. The men I refer to are the chairman and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...

The nervous, shifty-tempoed title song alone makes this one of the most intriguing vocal albums in months...

The weekly, which expanded its name to the Army, Navy, Air Force Journal after the Air Force became a separate arm, was willed to Washington's famed Gridiron Club of newsmen in 1949 by Colonel John O'Laughlin...
