Here at "Little Norway" there is everywhere a close spiritual link with Bishop Berggrav and the church martyrs of Norway (TiME, Dec. 25). I know, for it has been my job (in Public Relations and as assistant to the Commanding Officer of the Norwegian Air Force) for three and a half years to hear the stories of Norway's martyrdom firsthand. At night, in the bare, cold barracks, in darkness except for the light shining on my notebook, I have recorded hundreds of stories that might have inspired such a spiritual as Were You There When They Crucified...
Tall (6 ft.), gregarious Hoyt Vandenberg still had a big outfit and able sub-commanders. The XIX Tactical Air Command, headed by quiet, efficient Brigadier General Otto P.

He brushed off the suggestion of CABoss Lloyd Welch Pogue that Northwest merge with Pennsylvania-Central Airlines, presumably to put Northwest on a better competitive footing with the other transcontinental lines. Said Hunter...
...summer either in a cloud of wasps or (as in the summer of 1944) in a cloud of wasps and a nonstop bombardment by flying bombs. During the raids there was the ever-present anxiety that the local [pub] had been hit, thus cutting the last link with civilization. This anxiety entailed frequent visits to the local to check up on where the last bomb dropped, causing a serious loss in man-hours and a vast expenditure of money which might have gone into war savings...
