No Tribune today and La Vanguardia has only a short article on Rendova. The lack of boasts or dire predictions for American marines is unusual. Hori's silent as a tomb; Yahagi may be dead for all I know; even Shigemitsu has pulled a disappearing act. Speaking of disappearing acts, some say Alunan hasn't returned or may be in hiding. He wasn't at the last PCPI meeting and we've still heard nothing about his mission to the south.
