On a much more serious note

Dec 07, 2012 15:21

A first-hand observer's report of the Pearl Harbor bombings was finally published today by the Washington Post; it was originally considered too graphic to print.  It's available here.  (The reporter who wrote this went on to be a wartime spy; at 97, she's still alive today and was featured in an early WP article on two former senior CIA women who only met in a retirement home and are now great friends.)  No, parts of it aren't easy to read, but the ending gave suggestions on how to help the war effort.  The lady who wrote it sounds fascinating and now I'm headed to wikipedia to see what they have.
