...National Maritime Union, convention-anchored at Cleveland, Skipper Joe Curran hollered from the bridge in rough and hearty iron-man style. His shout shivered the political timbers of some of his delegates. There was some question about whether he was really navigating-or whether he was acting under sealed orders. In any case, war between Germany and Russia called for a new compass course from Skipper Curran.

To Paris to talk with the Germans went Marshal Petain's "heir," Admiral Jean François Darlan, who then made a quick and mysterious trip to Beauvais (near which last year he met with Adolf Hitler) before going home to report to his aged chief...
