General Motors bit the bullet in April and finally shut down its Oldsmobile division, freeing me to share a secret: despite the assertions of the famous ad campaign, it was always your father's Oldsmobile. The body styles were boring, the engines ho-hum, the seats fairly comfortable but blandly upholstered, and the radios seemed to be preset at the factory to play only stations called "the Breeze."

The Germans in the pillbox on the right flank were shooting up the sand all about me. I expected a bullet to rip through me at any moment. I reached the stone wall without further injury.

...June 6, we were only in about half a mile. As the evening progressed, I felt like I was getting very weak, and along the way, I got another bullet through the face again. I was starting to feel very weak from all that bleeding. As it got dark, I became very trigger happy, and anything that moved in front of me, I started to fire...
