...miles west of Clinton, members of the mob elbowed their way through shoulder-to-shoulder guardsmen and leaped at newsmen. The chief danger was to photographers and newsreel men, whose equipment made them conspicuous and vulnerable. While LIFE Photographer Robert W. Kelley was atop a jeep photographing the clash at Oliver Springs, five men, three of them carrying shotguns, advanced on him. Leaping to the ground to escape them, he broke his left leg.

...parable of man at war and an odd, rapt bit of poetry of the sea. There are no storms, either of men or of elements, as the clumsy LCT flotilla makes its way from the Firth of Clyde to its appointment with history on the beaches of Normandy. Personalities clash, but, as they must under the imperatives of war, such clashes collapse inconclusively...
