Did the Japanese really intend to provide the American government with a Declaration of War before the attack on Pearl Harbor? The answer may be found within the pages of this book. Before dropping the atomic bomb, the General Staff was concerned about a possible major attack on the American mainland. The Japanese, some of our military believed, were prepared to carry it out and had the means to cause more casualties on U.S. soil than became statistics in Hiroshima. When Marv. attended Hollywood High during the Depression, used Model “A” Fords could be had for $50 and a Model T" for only $5. Despite the price, not many could even then afford to purchase one. Another memorable event was when he saw one of the famed 1939 World Series championship games. The “Damn Yankees” had won three back to back and this victory over the Cincinnati Reds in four straight games gave them the title again. Joe DiMaggio, with his $27,500 contract, had been named the best player of the year. DiMaggio"s batting average that year was .381. Each of the winning team members pocketed $5,541 for their Series win. This was the centennial game of baseball.The post office printed up three cent postage stamps celebrating one hundred years, 1839-1939, of America"s favorite past time. To mail a letter then, postage for first class letters needed but a three penny licked sticky. It was Marv. that had set up the presidential debate between Nixon and Stevenson as well as another that included Casper Weinberger. Marv. was approved as the moderator. All had accepted but read how they were cancelled out by a Republican that was afraid of the outcome. Read how Yugoslavia went under Communist control by President Roosevelt"s own pen. A first person report on Avalon, Santa Catalina in its glory days when the Big Bands, Chicago Cubs, movie celebrities played there. There is a world of information within the pages and it is a real adventure in life.
