Military leaders worried acutely, however, about the thousands of Japanese scattered all over the vulnerable West Coast. On Dec. 29, Lieut. General John L. DeWitt ordered all Japanese aliens in the eight states in his Western Defense Command to surrender their shortwave radios and cameras. But the Army's basic demand was much broader: mass expulsion...
...ball for a face, with large eyes and a line for a mouth with a shadow around it to represent oversized lips." The crude caricatures gave way to less offensive images during the civil rights movement. A black playmate, Franklin, joined the Peanuts gang in 1968; the Afro-wearing Lieut. Flap became the resident militant in Beetle Bailey in 1970. Subsidiary characters popped up in other strips. The movement got an even more important boost when editors drafted black cartoonists and illustrators such as Morrie Turner and Brumsic Brandon Jr., Barbara's father, to create new strips like Wee Pals...

Commander Stephen White found a plaque in a Navy storeroom in Yokosuka, Japan. "Bill Chickering Theater. In Memory of William Henry Chickering," it read. "TIME War Correspondent Killed in Action Aboard the U.S.S. New Mexico. Luzon, P.I. January 1945." He wrote to Paul E. Wilson, a professor of naval science at the University of New Mexico, who contacted us. Intrigued, we went to the Time Inc. archives and retrieved the memory...
