...open waters of the Northern Pacific seas, the huge salmon were beginning an instinctive journey westward toward their spawning grounds in the rushing rivers of Kamchatka, Sakhalin and Siberia's eastern shores. Always before they had been met by thousands of Japanese fishing boats, which plucked almost all of Japan's important salmon catch from the northern waters. But this year the salmon move unmolested, and the sea is free of boats. Back in the fishing villages of Hokkaido, the Japanese vessels wait idly, their crews staring balefully out to sea. The gay festival that was to precede...
Five weeks ago, angered at the Japanese for breaking off peace treaty talks in London, the U.S.S.R. imposed severe controls on Japanese salmon fishing in the Okhotsk Sea, the western Bering Sea and parts of the North Pacific (see map) during the four-month spawning season. The prohibition put a merciless squeeze on Japan's fishing industry, which provides Japan's basic food supply. Aggressive Japanese fishermen once ranged the whole Pacific at will, but Japan now finds herself hemmed in by restricted areas...
...Japanese fishermen at least 60 miles away from the Korean coast. Southwest in the East China Sea, the Far East's best trawling grounds, the Japanese may not come within 100 miles of the Communist China coast.

He credits Christian Science with curing an illness that kept him bedridden in childhood, has said that he will not be wearing the patch forever. *By unhappy coincidence, ex-Budget Director Douglas also wears an eyepatch. In 1949, while U.S. Ambassador to Britain, he was casting for salmon in West Hampshire, snagged a fishhook in his left eye. He adopted the patch to avoid double vision-incidentally inspiring the advertising campaign of the Man in the Hathaway Shirt. * To return to Washington in December, 1954 as Ike's special assistant on foreign economic policy...
...There are not enough highways, schoolrooms, railroad coal gondolas, high-quality bed sheets, houses, parking places, ladies' electric razors or Lincoln Continental Mark IIs (there is a waiting list in Houston, where the delivered price is $10,700). There are shortages of scrap metal, aluminum, copper, newsprint, canned salmon, seats on airlines from Manhattan to Miami, and selenium.* There are too few salesmen, secretaries, schoolteachers, diemakers, loom fixers, machine-tool operators, mechanics, household servants...
