held so tenaciously, is about the same

So This Is New York
By North Callahan

At first glance, the picture on the
front page of the big daily newspaper
appeared to be just another photograph
of the war fronts. 1t showed two Of our
Marines pointing their bayoneted-rifles
at the bodies of dead" laps on Roi

the presence Of hundreds of servicemen
and women. 1t was quite a gala occasion
and I saw more cake and sandwiches in
one place than l ave ever seen since
