Grabbing the Controls. LeMay's military record is distinguished. (Among his many medals: the D.S.C., Silver Star, D.F.C.) He was, and is, a big-bomber man. At 37 he was one of the youngest two-star generals in World War II. He executed new and now classic bombing tactics with the B-17 group he directed from England against German targets. A bit later, he moved into the Far Eastern theater, risked his career by ordering his B-29 pilots to strike from the Marianas against Japanese cities at previously unheard-of low altitudes for the huge planes...

But Whitney, Lindsay and David Rockefeller were all reluctant to make the attempt...
Even though the Star is one of the youngest (18 months) and smallest (circ. 12,300) dailies ever to win a Pulitzer, the award was well earned. Last October, when the bishops sought to unseat Governor Luis Muñoz Marin for what they called "anti-Catholicism" (among other things, they objected to his approval of government birth control programs), Dorvillier's Star was the only paper on the island-which is 90% Catholic-to campaign editorially against the clerics' intervention. While San Juan's Spanish dailies, El Mundo (circ. 58,586) and El Impartial...
