Aggressive Action and Personal Struggles Intertwined in Washington
In a guarded column, Paul Mallon argues the Roosevelt administration shifts from caution to offense, signaling preparations for diversions against Germany and Japan and potential action in Africa, the Pacific, and possibly against Japan via Russia. The piece also covers political reactions to draft policy and civil rights measures amid wartime pressures. The prose then shifts to a fiction excerpt about Martin Corby, Candace Beck, and Peter Frazier, detailing romantic entanglements, hospital transfers, and tensions as medical training and impending marriage weigh on relationships.
