...meantime, Nwall returned home, only to find the man waiting in his room. Nwall told police that the man pointed a gun at him and forced him out into a parked car on Oxford St. Nwall reportedly was driven to a Back Bay apartment where he was held captive until Tuesday and then released...
Unceasingly, the rebel radio dinned against the "Yanqui invaders." Businessmen were warned not to open shop: "Each bullet in a rebel gun has the name of a gringo on it, and if not a gringo then an industrialist." At each turn of the negotiations with Special Envoy Martin, Caamaño had new complaints, new demands, new reasons for not negotiating with Imbert's junta. He imperiously demanded his own "corridor" slicing across the U.S. cordon along Avenida San Juan Bosco-to maintain communication with "our forces in the north."

...troops were under strict orders not to fire unless fired upon. For several hours, paratroopers, forbidden to interfere, watched rebels assemble a .50-cal. machine gun atop a building.

The whole affair cost thousands-all of it totally wasted. The court has just declared a mistrial for the completely unexpected reason that three of the six jurors were found to be ineligible...
...eerie air of realism. Supporting the landing at Guadalcanal, the ship undergoes her first attack by Japanese aircraft. Sirens, bugles, bosun's pipes and klaxons sound while a single blinker flashes in the darkness. The voices of fighter pilots mingle with the staccato rat-a-tat of machine-gun bullets: "I see about 40 bandits . . . Red, where are you? Dusty, Dusty . . . Dusty's gone in." Then the big, 16-in. guns belch out billows of multicolored smoke...
