General MacArthur's famous old and battered corn cob pipe was a familar fixture. MacArthur smoked this pipe in less formal occasions, usually outdoors while chatting with the troops on the front lines. He is standing most likely on the deck of his flagship moments before going ashore at Lingayen Gulf in Luzon. In an inscription on the back of the picture, Mydans wrote: "Where are his hands? They're in his back pocket. It's his usual position."
This taxidermied chicken is of the type used with the Bird Brain arcade game. It is white with red comb on a black plastic, wooden and metal base. The eyes may be glass; the red comb is painted. Corn husks and a corn cob are fixed onto the base with epoxy.
