...Japanese officer assigned to organize the overthrow of all this Blimpism was Colonel Masanobu Tsuji. A hard-eyed veteran of the Kwantung Army who made an intense study of jungle warfare, he tested what he had learned by training his troops in fierce heat, with little food or water. When they were crammed onto transport vessels for the stormy southward voyage, they carried pamphlets that said their mission was to free "100 million Asians tyrannized by 300,000 whites." To military headquarters in Tokyo, Tsuji confidently -- and pretty accurately -- predicted that if the war started on Nov. 3, "we will...

This is a place for hardworking parents, with wagon-train hearts, seeking picket...
...Nighttrain on their new album, Apocalypse 91: The Enemy Strikes Black. Out only a month, Apocalypse has burned into the Top Ten and sold a million copies; it hit No. 4 on the Billboard chart, with Can't Truss It sitting high at No. 3 among the singles. The heat, in every sense, seems to be following the group on its current tour. Disembarking from the band bus for a recent date in Oakland, Chuck D looked at the flames in the near distance and observed, "This is it. It's Apocalypse...
