Cairo Three Day Pass and Pastry Memories

A fatigued traveler recalls leave in Cairo with music, dancing, and the push of guides and vendors. He details late nights at the Grand, camel and horse sales near the pyramids, and the sensory bustle from the bazaars to Mena House. He cherishes the meals, jazz, and lingering fatigue of a three day pass.

Attu Occupation Shifts Pacific War Plans

The seizure of Attu by U.S. forces marks a major Pacific war milestone with wide effects. It brings long range bomber reach toward Japan, threatens Tokyo via weakened Japanese fleets, and gives control of the North Pacific. It also reestablishes weather stations and narrows supply lines for garrisons on Kiska, while intense naval actions near the Komandorski Islands demonstrate bold, old time sea fighting without air support.
