 General
                  James M. Gavin,paratroop commander who became an
                  early critic of the Vietnam War. As an officer with
                  the 82nd Airborne Division, Gavin parachuted with
                  his troops during battles in Sicily, Normandy and
                  the Netherlands and became known as "the jumping
                  general." After retiring from the Army, Gavin twice
                  served as President Kennedy's ambassador to France.
                  After a 1967 visit to Viet Nam, he urged
                  negotiations to end the war "by any means
                  available."
