Jamie Farr who played the character of cross-dressing Klinger on televisions M*A*S*H show is respectful in his review of the new University of Toledo Press book 30 Below on Christmas Eve: Interviews with Northwest Ohio Veterans of the Korean War.

I only fought in Korea on a TV sound stage and in a dress at that but I have great respect for the guys who were actually there, said Farr through the publisher. These interviews tell it all ... from suffering with frostbitten feet to charging up Heartbreak Hill, from being tortured as POWs to being flown in to MASH units. Thirty Below on Christmas Eve shows the real Korean War and the real valor our boys brought to the fight and then some.

Andrew Bud Fisher edits the interviews in 30 Below on Christmas Eve, as he did its previously published companion book, What A Time It Was: Interviews with Northwest Ohio Veterans of World War II. The new book includes almost four dozen interviews of Korean War veterans.

Though not stated explicitly by the editor, the interviews in both books seem to be excerpts from longer sessions, said Larry A. Grant of The Citadel Oral History Program in a review of the book.

Interviews were conducted in the Ward M. Canaday Center of the University of Toledo Carlson Library

Interviews in 30 Below are arranged according to service: Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps, Grant explains. Another section, Active Reserves, contains stories of veterans who also served in World War II. The remaining section, Other Participants, contains stories of service during the Korean War period, mostly in other theaters, and also introduces two Koreans who later settled in the U.S.

The book includes a glossary of terms, explanations of acronyms and place names, a listing of personalities introduced by the recollections, biographical sketches of key individuals in the war, essays on the history of the era, and statistics of the war.

Grant notes that the text includes few annotations. Instead, the veterans recollections speak for themselves.

One recollection that reoccurs is the memory of how unprepared American forces were when they got to Korea.

This condition comes out repeatedly in the interviews, writes Grant. Leo D. Barlows comments are typical when the subject turns to the winter weather. Asked how he was equipped, Barlow, a Marine who landed at Inchon and fought at Chosin Reservoir, answers, It could get down to 40 degrees below zero and we didnt have the proper gear. We lost more people to the weather than to enemy action.

During his introductory press conference as the new senior assistant/defense for the Tennessee Titans, Gregg Williams was asked what went wrong in St. Louis. Williams sidestepped the question like a pass-rusher eluding a blitz pickup.

Well, the thing with that is No. 1 this is my first day back, Williams told reporters Thursday in Nashville. I havent talked to anybody. Part of the (suspension) deal is youre not supposed to talk to anybody. Thats not for me to know.

I havent talked with anybody in that organization. Im just happy with the opportunity. . .the fact that I can be here. I havent talked about it. This is my first day back in the NFL.

Which is an interesting reply. If he hasnt talked with the Rams, how then did he learn that the Rams didnt want him back?

One way around direct communication would've been for the Rams to inform NFL commissioner Roger Goodell that they weren't bringing back Williams, and then for the commissioner to inform Williams.

Williams had time left on his Rams contract, but there is language in all contracts dealing with suspensions, and in this case a team's right to void the contract because of a suspension.

Mum's the word for Gregg Williams on Rams

One day after interviewing with the New Orleans Saints to be their defensive coordinator, which came one day after professing his adoration for Georgia, Todd Grantham released a statement Friday night saying he would remain the Bulldogs' defensive coordinator.

He punctuated his remarks with, ...My family loves it here, and I do as well. This is where our heart is.

Nice touch, even if slightly disengenuous. Dont expect Grantham's heart or any other organs to be sticking around Athens for very long.

Really, this really is not meant as a criticism of Grantham. (Sort of.) As I wrote Wednesday when Granthams sudden candidacy in New Orleans unfortunately intersected with national letter of intent day, he is like almost every other assistant football coach. Hes a climber. He is always going to be looking for the next best thing. He wants to be a head coach one day, which is only natural. But that means his loyalty extends only as far as the next want ad.

Grantham and his agent havent been shy about using his potential candidacy for other jobs for raises. So even if he is focused on his coaching duties while in Athens, this is bound to become a growing distraction and opposing coaches certainly will use it against Georgia in recruiting. That's the problem.

Im not sure what Georgia coach Mark Richt can do about this. I'm not on board with the suggestion by some fans that Grantham should be fired, unless the situation just mutated into something unworkable. But at the very least, Richt and athletic director Greg McGarity need to tell Grantham to be a little more low key about matters, and there can't be repeat of Wednesday's embarrassment in signing day. After Richt's press conference, with some of the signees in an auditorium, several media members made their way to the back of the room to talk to Grantham. This has the potential to become a major distraction over the next year and Richt must be wondering how he is going to deal with it.

The fact Grantham withdrew his name for the Saints job tells me that he probably wasnt going to get it anyway. But he is going to get other job offers, either as an NFL coordinator or a college head coach, and eventually he will be gone. The question is how Richt deals with it until the inevitable happens.

Here's Grantham's statement:

"I want to thank Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints organization for the opportunity to interview and get to know them. They are a first class organization in every respect. As I said Wednesday, Georgia is a great place, my family loves it here, and I do as well. This is where our heart is and today I have withdrawn my name from consideration for the position with the Saints. Im excited to start preparations for another season and along with the rest of our defensive staff look forward to coaching some really good returning players as well as developing some very talented newcomers."
