...Algonquin Park (TIME, April 16) is about 180-odd miles from Toronto and has, in addition to the above-mentioned fauna, bear, mink, moose, and wolves (researchers beware). It is, in fact, Algonquin Provincial Park, with a post office and all, some 1,500 lakes, covering, I would guess, about 3,000 sq. mi. of "picnic grounds," mostly second-growth coniferous stand, with some virgin timber in the north...
G.l.s in Japan. General Lord's real job will begin when the High Command gives the orders to transship the ground forces which will be finally needed to conquer and occupy Japan. How soon that will be was anyone's guess. General Eisenhower operated last week as though he had never heard of a war against Japan. Ships still carried replacements to Europe.

The salvage from Burma will probably add little to this total; the doomed remnants of Okinawa, the Philippines and the abandoned garrisons of bypassed islands will add none...
Japan's foremost problem is not army manpower: new divisions are constantly being recruited. The problem is to guess when and where the invasion of the home islands is coming. If the Jap generals guess wrong, as they have so often done, there will be no time to shift dispositions. No Substitute.

His private life also lacks the gaudy touch. "I guess I have never been young enough," he confesses, "to enjoy night clubs. I don't understand what goes on after 1 a.m.-but I doubt if anything very profound is said." A family man (he has been married twice), he does not smoke, seldom drinks, spends as much time as possible...
