"Imperial Navy Crushes Enemy ... 4 Cruisers, 1 Battleship Sunk ... 200 Allied Planes Shot Down in Big Sea and Air Battle." It's a dark day for us. There's so much smoke being made that the people fear there's bound to be a fire somewhere. "What does the U.S. say?" they ask. Not much, unfortunately. Personally, I feel the Japanese are heading for a big disaster and I'm keeping my eye on Guadalcanal — victory is to the side left standing there.
