PASCO: You know, Marshall called everybody by their last name, except
General Patton, who he had played polo with for many years, had known him at
Fort Myer earlier. But when he referred to MacArthur, he always said, "that
fellow MacArthur". We all thought "fellow" was a code word for S.O.B. I
can't prove that, but I'm sure it was, I feel it was an indication of his
irritation and worry about MacArthur's flamboyant personality and the way he
did things. It was not Marshall's way of doing things. But, he always said,
"that fellow MacArthur".
