I daresay that not a single recipient of Professor Amory's letters thought they represented anything except a colleague's suggestions; if this is doubted, let the CRIMSON ask them and find out.

The forward speed of the U.S. drive was painfully slow and enemy pockets on the flanks had to be rooted out laboriously...
Though thousands of panicky citizens were hoarding sugar, canned goods and coffee last week, there was absolutely no reason for it. The U.S. was better supplied with food than ever before in history. Not only would the wheat and corn harvests be good; mountains of hitherto unwanted farm surpluses were stored away in warehouses and caves throughout the nation.
