I have been waiting ever since the surrender of Tolryo to see how you would acknowledge MacArthur's speech, and next to MacArthur's saying it, is the manner in which you reported it. And I am also indebted to you for the quotation you gave from MacArthur's 191E speech. Truly Greatness is still alive in the world and America has Lnother leader who will live iir history as a fitting companion with Washington and Lincoln. Give us more of 'Magnificent MacArthur" "
