Rags to Riches. There he persuaded an Italian printer to bring out another book of sketches, Sicily Sketchbook, which sold 5,000 copies to one regiment, earned him $1,800, earned the News $600.

On Bloody Nose Ridge in caves which were the "incarnate evil of this war," the Japs made their last stand. In stifling heat at least one regiment of the ist took as high as 60% casualties. The 81st Infantry Division ("Wildcat") moved in to relieve them. In three weeks 1,038 of the ist had been killed or were missing, 4,650 wounded. But in less than four weeks of fighting 11,083 Japs lay dead on Peleliu...
