TIME'S office in Moscow is a big room with a balcony on the fourth floor of the rambling old Metropole Hotel (ten minutes from the Foreign Office, five minutes from the Kremlin)-and Thompson will find the grind there tough.

Last week theirs were the voices WPB had to hear as it prepared for the fearsome job of refitting the U.S. production machine for the knockout blow against Japan. That blow would not be delivered in one swift assault; it might be many long months...
