The disease left her memory so clouded that she could remember almost nothing of her life. She had to start school all over again in Charlotte, N.C., beginning with the first grade, until finally she could remember enough to graduate from high school again (TIME, July...

But then came the Japanese destroyers, the deep submersion, and the suspense at 300 feet below while depth charges searched for the sub, shaking her like a light bulb on a cord. The first time it happened to Trigger, Tokyo Rose claimed her sunk, then played a recording of Rocked in the Cra dle of the Deep. It was a characteristic Japanese extravagance: they claimed 468 subs in the course of the war. U.S. sub losses in the Pacific from all causes were...
