I know that Dwight Eisenhower and Douglas Macarthur had a very troubled relationship. I have been unable to find out the nature and source of their problems.

My husband said that he has heard of two things which contributed to their feud. The first was that Mac felt that Ike got too much attention for the victory in Europe. Mac apparently felt cheated of attention, as he felt he fought a much harder war because of the nature of the fighting in the Pacific (i.e. small pieces of land, more hand-to-hand combat, difficulty of finding staging areas for launching assaults, etc...) The second was that Mac had an innate distrust of politicians, and he felt Ike was betraying his military roots by eyeing the White House. Mac felt that military men should be just that, military men, and leave the politics to politicians, rather than switching over half way through a career.

Are these true? Can you please shed some light on the nature of their quarrel with one another?

Thank you.

Obviously sound is a huge part of the film industry, but how did people initially react and how did our society take it? How is the present media landscape related to or effected by the time when Al Jolson was first singing on screen?

This has nothing to do with ethnic. This is a question for whomevers ancestors arrived here from where ever....centuries ago. I beleive my family immigrated from Ireland in one of the potatoe famines. What generation does that make me? I have also been told we are "Black Irish", which I never understood until someone told me that during the crusades, Spanish peoples, with moorish blood returned with the crusaders, and intermarried/grated with the irish. So, Time wise, only--no ethnic stuff thank you--- what generation (I always thought it must be close to30) would I be, and if you can't be bothered, or you all ready know, what generation of North American are you? (Pls. no. digs from Inuit, or Native--I already know that.
