...Russia had attempted to snuff out these gains by clamping down on Berlin, "the Soviet planners," said Clay, "failed to recognize our strength in the air . . . The airlift to Berlin is not a makeshift operation. It is a well organized, efficient and precisely timed operation which can provide the minimum essentials for the people of Berlin indefinitely . . . Our airmen . . . have not wavered in bad weather; nor in the face of contemptible threats...

More serious was the resulting complete disillusionment with his government displayed by the Japanese man in the street. The U.S. had given Japan a new constitution, new slogans, new faces. It had not changed the real constitution of Japan-the skein of bribery which had held the country before the war and which continued to exist behind MacArthur's upright back...
