"Our jackets came off. Buttons were unbuttoned. It was as if we were frantic, and we were."

A previously unknown collection of wartime letters from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to his driver, Capt. Kay Summersby, appears likely to stir renewed debate over whether the two were lovers during the last year of World War II.

Both General Eisenhower, who was married, and Captain Summersby initially denied the long-rumored romance. But in 1976, as she was dying of cancer, Miss Summersby published a second book of memoirs of the war years, "Past Forgetting: My Love Affair With Dwight D. Eisenhower," in which she described a passionate but frustrating affair with the Supreme Allied Commander.

In her second book, Miss Summersby, a former model, wrote of how her friendship with the general had developed into passion.

"I suppose inevitably, we found ourselves in each others' arms in an unrestrained embrace," she wrote. "Our jackets came off. Buttons were unbuttoned. It was as if we were frantic, and we were." But, she added, the general had difficulty consummating the affair.

How will the General survive this? How should he handle the press? Should Ms. Summersby take the podium when the General schedules a press conference to apologize to the troops? Was taxpayer money spent on the pair driving around Europe during the war?

Oh wait, sarcasm off.
