...Tokyo Rose; in Chicago. In fact, there was no Tokyo Rose-the name was given by U.S. troops to any English-speaking female on Radio Japan, the propaganda outlet where D'Aquino was forced to work after being stranded during a visit to Tokyo by the bombing of Pearl Harbor. With references to listeners as "our friends-I mean, our enemies" and off-air efforts to aid American POWs, she made clear her loyalty to the U.S. But in 1949, with testimony from witnesses who later said they were coerced, she was convicted of treason and jailed for six years...
...known) elects two representatives, and the top vote-getter gets their choice of committee. Those of you who remember the UC’s attempts at planning campus-wide events—the infamous $16,000 Springfest 2005 afterparty, which drew only 150 people, and the Havana on the Harbor boat cruise for which only 50 of 375 tickets were sold come to mind—can breathe easy.

"It was an enormous influence on me," he says of his three years in Japanese custody. "After Pearl Harbor, my secure and settled life was just swept away. It taught me that conventional reality can't be trusted, that human beings are not always governed by reason. They can be very cruel." Ballard's wife, Mary, died of pneumonia in 1964, leaving him to raise their three children alone...
...expecting much from “Flyboys.” A grim James Franco seductively looks over his shoulder through his aviator goggles. Previews show some lovin’ with Jennifer Decker (known primarily for roles on French television). Is this yet another “Pearl Harbor,” where war is eclipsed by the tearful tale of a pretty boy military man and his gal? The bittersweet romance is definitely there, but rather than commandeering the plot, it is one of several distinct elements that subtly blend into the background of an intense and commendable portrayal...
