¯ Hal was discussing "sea harrier" with Jim. ®
 JS>> Trivia:  Dwight D. Eisenhower was on the list to be discharged
 JS>> as an "over age in grade" major when WW II crisis started. He
 JS>> was on General MacArthur's staff at that time.
HH¯ If I'm not mistaken, he was on MacArthur's "S" list as well, and
HH¯ they disliked or despised one another.
I remember reading in a biography of MacArthur that the -=only=-
complementary thing Mac ever had to say about Ike was that
"Eisenhower was the best clerk MacArthur ever had"...
