Of the 22 reporters, researchers, writers and editors in twelve TIME Inc. bureaus at home and abroad who worked directly on the story and color layout, nine were former officers and enlisted men of the Navy and Marine Corps.

Hurricane Jackson, an ill wind from New York, Bob Baker, a pudge-pot from Pittsburgh, Johnny Holman a clown from Chicago, are the three top contenders, and a good kangaroo ought to be able to outwit any one of them for the title. Aside from Moore, the only real fighter with the skill...
