...forces in the north; there was reason to believe that they were then plotting an invasion of Siberia. And 73 days after the Marines landed in the Solomons, Siberia had not been invaded. If the reason was the Solomons campaign, then the U.S. landing in the Solomons was the cheapest second front the Allies could have bought...

If Harvard is to take its place in the civilian offensive, everyone, not just...
...Urals are the chief seat of Soviet Asia's industrial power, "the inner bastion of Russian defense." The Magnitogorsk Steel Mill, which since 1936 has produced the cheapest pig iron in Russia, supports a mushroom metropolis of 200,000.

But today they have a still greater advantage-they require as little as 2 or 3% phenol (carbolic acid), a chief component of the commonest plastics and now a badly needed, priorities-listed ingredient. Furthermore, lignin molding powders can be mixed to "extend" phenol plastics by 100%, synthetic rubber for many uses by 100 to 500%. This aspect of lignin was last week under intensive study by the U.S. Army & Navy...
