Kenneth on William Donovan's Integrity and Courage

Donovan, William J. (William Joseph), 1883-1959

While Donovan was in Thailand, he'd go on lengthy walks daily. He would walk during the heat of the day, wearing down even the marines who would guard him. When asked about it, he merrily responded that he wasn't fearing death--he wouldn't ask anyone to do anything he himself wouldn't do.
