When G.I.s and their dependents began to show up at the U.S. Army Hospital in Yokohama with asthma, the medics expected it to be the same old complaint. But the case histories were consistently different. Patient after patient reported that during his first fall or winter in Yokohama he had a persistent cold. Exertion made him gasp for breath, but he did not worry about this until he awoke, usually between 1 and 3 a.m., terrified because he thought he was suffocating.

He gathered signatures for the phony Communist Stockholm "Peace Petition," helped direct strikes for the Red-led Farm Equipment Workers Union, wrote stories that ran in the Communist Daily Worker...
Despite a continuing, loud rumble of complaint, many commuters, including Fairfield County Commuters Association President Thomas Early, were willing to give McGinnis credit for at least holding the line. He had withdrawn a 25-30% fare increase submitted by Dumaine to the Interstate Commerce Commission on the ground that it could cause more commuters to drive to New York. He had rescinded a Dumaine order to cut 46 trains off the entire system. He was also trying to boost revenues by encouraging drivers to climb aboard the New Haven; crews were stationed at parkways into New York to check...
