That term is idiot. If you doubt it, remember that I wrote “Bedfellows” and I wrote this one. It wonders how World War II might have gone were the American media in those days as, mm, unconstrained as they are now. I like writing pastiche. This piece let me impersonate both Edward R. Murrow and Ernie Pyle. Can’t ask for more than that. December 7, 1941—Austin Daily Tribune U.S. AT WAR December 8, 1941—Washington Post PRESIDENT ASKS FOR WAR DECLARATION! Claims Date of Attack Will “Live in Infamy” December 8, 1941—Chicago Tribune CONGRESS DECLARES WAR ON JAPAN! Declaration Is Not Unanimous December 9, 1941—New York Times editorial ROOSEVELT’S WAR Plainly, President Franklin D. Roosevelt has brought this war on himself and on the United States. On July 25 of this year, he froze Japanese assets in the United States. On the following day, he ordered the military forces of the Philippine Islands incorporated into our own—a clear act of aggression. And on August 1, he embargoed export of high-octane gasoline and crude oil to Japan, a nation with limited energy resources of its own.
