Momentarily, Harry Truman's announcement mended one breach in the Democratic Party. The Southern Democrats' revolt was against Truman, and now the target was gone. But there was no assurance that the wound was healed permanently...
...question: What did Harry Truman's announcement mean to the Republicans? Bob Taft thought it made no difference in the campaign for the G.O.P. nomination. Some other political strategists thought it would force Taft to re-pitch his campaign, because Truman has been his chief target. Ike's position, in one sense, was less difficult now: he wouldn't have to run against the man who was his Commander-in-Chief...
...Target: At Home. Nervously querying its embassies abroad, the State Department was told that Communism's refusal to let the outside world see for itself had discredited the Communist campaign everywhere this side of the Iron Curtain. But that did not mean it was a flop. Previous Communist propaganda maneuvers -the disarmament campaign of 1946, the warmonger cry of 1947, the phony Stockholm Peace Appeal of 1949-had at least a semblance of plausibility, and were designed to arouse and divide nations outside the Communist orbit...
...Landmark. Fletcher's crusade began over a year ago when the radar operator of a B-29 flying the dogleg "Ptarmigan" track (Alaska to the Pole) reported that he had picked up a strange target-an "island" of some sort where there should have been nothing but spongy, saltwater ice pack (TIME, Nov. 27,1950). Because the 16-hour weather hops over the white wastes of the Arctic get monotonous, the crews took a lively interest in searching for a new landmark...

The enemy sent his fast MIGs down from the north to interfere, but they were driven off with heavy losses by U.S. Sabres. As fast as the F-80s got back to base, they were reloaded and refueled for follow-up missions; altogether the wing flew 250 sorties. The fighter-bombers knocked out 32 Red antiaircraft positions, dropped some 33,000 gallons of napalm...
