...that point, the debate had been for the most part one between the two old adversaries. But now, meticulous, bespectacled Koto Matsudaira of Japan spoke up for the first time to express his government's "misgivings" over the U.S. intervention, and said that he would try to seek some sort of compromise. To add to the U.S.'s discomfiture, bald Omar Loutfi of the United Arab Republic produced a letter from the president of the Lebanese Parliament denouncing U.S. intervention as an infringement of Lebanese sovereignty. Finally, as the second day ended, still another sour note was sounded...
...Kotos & Bugles. A graduate of George Washington University and a U.S. Army veteran of the New Guinea campaign, Fotouhi set out to convince the Japanese that he had come not only to teach them about the U.S. but to learn as much as he could about Japan. His daughter went to a Japanese school, learned the language, even became adept at sword fighting and playing the koto (harp). In addition to studying the tea ceremony, her mother also took up the koto, and father Fazl learned the shakuhachi (bamboo flute). Last month little Farida gave a recital over the radio...

They next failed to knock out the headquarters garrison at Hagaru, which would have prevented the division from assembling at that point. Finally, they failed to overrun the garrison at Koto, a move which would have blocked the marines' road...
...battle from Hagaru to Koto was marked by heavy casualties on both sides. After that, the Chinese tried to stop the marines by blowing a dam and a bridge, and by sporadic shooting from the sides of the road. Not once from Koto to the sea did the marines run into a massively defended roadblock. This, of course, was partly due to effective air help and to the 3rd Division's rescue force, which came up from Hungnam and cleared the lower part of the road. Nevertheless, the U.S. column was a force of 20,000 traveling through territory...
...searches out the other voices with mobile recording units. From 1½ hours of interviews in Koto, Murrow & Friendly culled a 21-second spot for Hear It Now: for other stories. CBS network stations sent mobile units up to the Canadian border and deep into the backwoods of South Carolina. Shying away from the musical "stings" that usually embellish radio documentaries, Hear It Now employs instead such topflight composers as David Diamond and Lehman Engel to supply unobtrusive incidental music...
