If any proof were needed that Stewart will be a thoroughly competent armchair general, it came last week in a fine CBS-TV documentary program (Cowboy Five Seven) about the Strategic Air Command. The filmed show's producer-director-narrator: Stewart. His promotion will be official after certain Senate approval this week...

At 31 he looks rather like an unweathered Wayne, with a nice, uneventful face and a chest as big as a wardrobe-on producer's orders, he bares it at least once a program.
