...choice was Marietta, Ohio (pop. 19,500), where the calm Ohio River (see map) bends gradually along a three-mile course with dams above and below it that control the currents. The crews can be comfortably housed in Marietta College dormitories, and the Baltimore & Ohio has promised an observation train. Pleased as punch with the coup, Marietta boosters were already starting a $20,000 fund-raising campaign to take care of the visitors...

...Admiral Spruance and I were astounded." But Sherman was right-so right that the Navy and Kelly Turner's amphibious-force troops hopped on to grab Eniwetok. Thus the Navy's spectacular leapfrogging technique was born. Often, Nimitz remembers, he and Sherman would retire to the big map room where they would talk, look at the map and think.
