Well, things have certainly picked up for us old beat-up, guinea happy, flip chasin', atabrine eatin', female hungry, geisha huntin' G.I.s. I'm writing this by the light of a 200-watt reading lamp, on an oaken writing desk, surrounded by large double windows (with glass in them) and sliding doors. This morning I awoke to find an olive-skinned, black-haired, shy young vision of Oriental loveliness, with broom in hand, busily engaged in giving my room, which I share with only two other liberators, a working over. When she became aware...
...exchangin' good mornin's acrost the river." Oldest Inhabitant Grandpappy Sears dresses comfortably in nothing but cowboy boots and a suit of heavy underwear. He likes to eat in Gus Popupolis' restaurant, whose sign reads: WHERE GREEK FEEDS GREEK. Hackberry has annual huntin', shootin' and bird-dog competitions.

Last week he startled the Empire by rising in the House of Lords to urge that Great Britain should try to make with Germany an immediate peace without victory...
...quiet old Port Royal, whose 500 inhabitants go about their unimportant affairs in a setting of faded 18th Century elegance. Port Royal has 60 old buildings, most of them built soon after the Revolutionary War. In their shadow there is genteel marketing, churchgoing, scampering of children. Oldsters gabble of huntin' and fishin', aware that nothing much else has happened there since the conflict which they refer to as the War Between the States. Impecunious, somnolent, dignified, Port Royal would be just the place for a company of scholars with little money but much bookish fervor, and last week...
