...Allied intelligence had reported four to six North Korean divisions building up west of the Naktong. Despite saturation bombing of the area by B-29s (see The Air War), the enemy divisions mounted a massive (30,000 men) and skillful attack from a jump-off point northeast of the target area and smashed due south, capturing Kunwi and Kumhwa, and pushing back the South Korean ist and 6th Divisions. But the courageous South Koreans managed to regroup. They were reinforced by the 27th ("Wolfhound") Regiment of the U.S. 25th Division, which was hurried to the scene all the way from...
Next day, Rosie O'Donnell's Superfortresses went out and did their best. In two hours over the target, the Superforts dropped 850 tons of bombs on an enemy area 7,000 yards wide and 13,100 yards long. Air Force planners had worked out a bombing pattern of one bomb to each five acres...
...otherwise humdrum U.N. week (see above), China's Dr. Tsiang Ting-fu, a distinguished history professor and "scholar in government" (Ph.D. from Columbia), delivered an arresting speech -in effect a lecture in history that none of Tsiang's colleagues would soon forget.

During 23 years as Dean of London's St. Paul's, Dr. William Ralph Inge (rhymes with sing) had blazed away at many a plump and unsuspecting target. His massive pulpit barrages against smug optimism earned him the nickname of "the Gloomy Dean," and his 31 books won him a reputation as "the most formidable literary dean since Swift." Last week, 16 years and eight books after his retirement, it was evident that 90-year-old Dean Inge had not yet run out of ammunition. In Cambridge for a meeting of Britain's Modern Churchman...
...take years and cost billions to disperse industries, put key plants underground, build huge, deep shelters for city dwellers. But local civil defense units can do plenty now. Civil defense headquarters and many of the police and fire-fighting forces should be scattered around the edges of a likely target area, not huddled in the middle. Emergency first-aid squads should be spotted everywhere. They will need an ocean of blood, plasma and plasma substitutes for transfusions. They will need a mountain of bandages to dress burns and other injuries. Buildings such as schools should be set aside as emergency...
