A few hours later we arrived at a pristine beach surrounded by coral heads at the southern tip of the island. Divers readied their gear and plunged directly overboard while snorkelers and shell gatherers headed to the beach in a dinghy. Later that afternoon, a small fishing boat pulled alongside the Marco Polo to reveal a hold full of the day's catch. After a few minutes of haggling, the fisherman agreed to $5 and hoisted three meter-long tuna aboard...
...listen to Le Squer, of Paris' Ledoyen, who says his rigorous training makes it "impossible for me to present a dish that is anything less than perfect." The surf crashing on the rocky coast of his native Brittany inspired his signature dish, dressed spider crab served in its shell with a soufflé of "sea foam."

Joe is to protect the Navajo if possible, to kill him if it looks as if Ben will be captured by the Japanese. Joe, however, is a bit shell-shocked, or as we now say, suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome. He has followed orders before, and, as a result, is the sole, death-haunted survivor of a unit he led into an ambush. He resolves not to become too close to a man he may have to kill. But the Navajo...
