"George Patton, a dynamic controversialist who
wore pearl handled revolvers on each hip ..."

Pearl handled my a%#!

Anybody remember what he said when someone would call them "pearl" handles?

I remember listening to conversations, in the 50's, where it was pretty much agreed to by everyone that Patton had been assassinated... by someone. The "someone" being the major topic of disagreement.
Also as I remember, his wife would never speak to the Eisenhower's after the war.
