As one who began reading A MERICAN H ERITAGE in 1947 and who served on the advisory board from 1949 to 1977, I have read a goodly number of issues with considerable care. There has never been one with so much good writing as October/November 1983. Though I am not much of a fan for military writing, Cawthon’s piece is masterly. And any day one runs into Marshall Davidson in person or in print is a holiday.
