...beyond the prerogatives of a senior military commander." Thus the Army lost the services of a rugged, experienced fighting man in a critical cold-war spot. During World War II, Walker led the eliteist Special Service Force through Italy, France and Germany. In Korea, he commanded the artillery at Heartbreak Hill. When he resigned from the Army last week, Walker was under orders to report to Hawaii as assistant chief of staff for training and operations in the Pacific-a responsible job, which proved that the Army still wanted to make use of his talents...

The immemorial heartbreak of For men must work and women must weep was to be mixed with a colder appraisal of the men themselves. They stand forth half-cocked and high-talking patriots, revolver in holster and glass in hand, while slum poverty stares out, and children grow tuberculous and die, and pregnant...
