...rebels gave their support to the only rallying point available-Castro. Castro accepted the deal, saying: "Fighting the revolution is the job of our generation, but we will not be ready to govern. That will be your job." When Castro made it to the hills last December with the remnant of his invasion force, the wealthy, noncombatant rebels supplied guns and money...
...dive bombers and six Zeros, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi of the sole surviving carrier, Hiryu, put in a sudden, sharp attack against Yorktown, losing almost all of his aircraft but scoring three hits and starting fires. At 1245 Yamaguchi threw in his last ten torpedo bombers and six fighters, remnant of Nagumo's force of 250 plus, led by a lieutenant who knew he had only enough fuel for a one-way trip.

One of the characteristics of a pure spirit is that its knowledge does not come through sense perception, but intuitively and at will. Hence the telepathic and clairvoyant abilities of certain individuals in a state, says Wiesinger, of partial liberation from the body. Conversely, the partly liberated soul may be that of a dead person bound...
