Ramrod Discipline. Today, under the superintendency of Major General Richard J. Marshall, distant cousin of General Marshall, V.M.I, stretches out over 300 acres, a place of fortress-like tan stucco-covered buildings, looming towers, and crenellated walls. V.M.I. still takes a fierce pride in its ramrod discipline. All cadets live, four to a room, in two adjoining barracks, kept always in inspection-ready order. Uniforms are hung on racks (there are no closets), cots are stacked each day, rifles and sabers are racked against the walls. The day officially begins with breakfast formation at 7 a.m. From then on-through...

Ruefully, the staff christened their quarters "Soreprat-by-the-sea." Said one staff officer last week: "There are just...
...Rhee and Franziska moved to Washington, where Rhee acted as U.S. representative of the Provisional Government and arbiter of all Korean activities in the U.S. They lived simply, bought a twelve-room stucco house on 16th Street only after advisers suggested that it would be a good idea to have a reasonably impressive establishment. Rhee, who drank no Western liquors and smoked only an occasional cigarette, avoided Washington's cocktail party set. Most of his time was spent in attempts to interest the State Department in the Provisional Government and Korean independence. Even after World War II began...
