#1 This was in the LA Times??? And the intelligent Meyer commentary was on the CBS site? What's the MSM coming to? Did somebody there happen to look at their P & L sheets or something?

#2 ...The story behind the story: Stanley Johnston (the correspondent) was rescued from the sinking USS Lexington at the battle of the Coral Sea just a few weeks before Midway. Johnston took his time getting back, and as he traveled he listened very carefully to conversations he heard among USN officers. When he got back and heard about the victory at Midway, he put together what he knew with what the USN was admitting to - and he turned out to have been right on the money. McCormick - who hated Roosevelt with a passion - printed it knowing it might endanger the war effort.
