...Smack on the Chops. The Russians had proposed an Allied control council-with emphasis on control. The invitations announced last week were in effect a smack right on the Kremlin's chops.

...Imperial Palace, smack in Tokyo's center, was not officially a target but the 485 holy acres were in the target area and could not easily be avoided. A 70-mile ground wind, spreading the flames, apparently had even less respect for divine real estate...
