...Instead, weary old Alex Smith asked him what "SACLANT" meant. Norstad patiently explained that it meant, as it had for six years, Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic. When Smith started to ask other questions, Green cut him off: "It is undesirable to have a long series of questions at this stage." Then, after sparring playfully with Norstad for photographers (see cut), spry old Teddy Green scurried off to one of the social engagements that he apparently considers the main job of the Foreign Relations Committee chairman.

Two drunken soldiers blurt out news of the death of David; a news cameraman snaps a picture of J.B. and Sarah while a reporter is telling them that Mary and Jonathan have been killed...
