...began fortnight ago in Mexico's east-coast port of Tampico. Under cover of storm and night four Nazi freighters quietly slipped their moorings, headed out into the Gulf of Mexico. As the shore line dropped astern a signal flare cut the darkness ahead, then another. To the nervous Nazis that meant British warships. The Phrygia's captain, in a panic, scuttled his ship. The other three swung frantically about, stampeded back to port...
Straightway the exultant Greeks hopped into captured tanks to chase the retreating Italians up the road to Pogradec, where Italian General Ubaldo Soddu, after cashiering some 50 senior officers, tried to form a secondary defense line. Another Greek pursuit column harried the Italian retreat toward Moskopole ("Perfumed City").

But with the German people first in line at the pantry door, with crops this year "well below normal," and with transportation disorganized and distributive channels disrupted, he does not see how widespread; disease-inviting malnutrition can be avoided. Rejecting the more dire forecasts, it appears fairly certain that outside relief is urgently necessary to prevent an incalculable amount...
With their first match scheduled against M. I. T. on December 7, the wrestling team is putting on the pressure. Outside the fact that the team will have to enter the first match with three of its first line men missing, it should not have too much trouble with the Techmen...
