Tired of their constant complaints about the quality of recrea-

B.J. as the new morale officers. Winchester's morale has already
reached a new peak. He's ecstatic about his operation on a wounded
soldier (James Stephens) which saved the boy's leg, leaving only
"negligible" side effects--the loss of use of his arm. However,
the soldier was a concert pianist before the war, so Winchester
obtains music written by Maurice Ravel for a pianist that had lost
a hand in World War I.
