There was lanky, homely Chairman Omar Bradley, the map of Missouri on his face and the map of Europe behind him on the wall; the Air Force's handsome, greying General Hoyt Vandenberg, lounging long-legged in his leather chajr; the Army's peppery, prow-chinned General Joe Collins, who likes to do a lot of the talking.
