...central Pacific depended. If the Japanese had returned the next day with three divisions of assault troops, supported by air groups from all their carriers (about ten) and gunfire from all their battleships (ten or twelve) they might well have captured Oahu, keystone in the Alaska-Hawaii-Panama defense arch. If so, they would have won that war; the U.S. would have had to start all over...

With arch-rival Arne Andersson as opposition and a heat wave to loosen his muscles, Hägg ran on the ragged edge of the magic four-minute mile.

How is an ordinary citizen or subject of the King to stand up against this formidable machine, which, once it is in power, will prescribe for every one of them where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say, what views they are to hold and within what limits they...
