...medical schools, Dean Donham steadily shifted the emphasis of his school from applied business economics to practical business administration. By the middle '30s business' growing emphasis on enlightened management had amply demonstrated his prescience. War brought out another example of the Dean's foresight: having long trained a group of Army officers assigned each year to the School, Harvard Business professors were well prepared last fall to start the first U.S. school for Army quartermasters...
Geographic obstacles and poor communications should not be permitted to dim the value of this front. Retrospective foresight would recommend that the estimated losses of a year be concentrated and accepted in an offensive that would not only eject the Japanese from Karafuto [southern half of Sakhalin] but follow them into Hokkaido, with Honshu [the main Japanese island] and Tokyo as the objective.

With remarkable foresight the U.S. Army last spring placed orders or laid plans with every large rubber processor in the country for production of hundreds of such balloons...

Another is the Kuznetsk Basin, next to Outer Mongolia. In the extreme south, centered at Tashkent, there is a less concentrated area, mainly of light industries such as textiles...
