MacArthur’s relentless 7 day rule and iron routine
The text portrays General Douglas MacArthur as a hard driving authoritarian who demanded loyalty, never took vacations, and ran a strict schedule at Tokyo headquarters. At 71 he remained erect and energetic, arriving around 11 am, lunch at 2:30, returning at 4, working to 10 or 11, with insatiable reading and private movies as his only recreations. He once stated he liked their odd hours.
