SALVAGE. It would be fair to say that few are as battleship obsessed as I, so this series of articles at The New York Times may be less interesting than I think. The articles, censored during Worlds War II, discuss the salvage efforts on the battleships sunk on December 7. Interesting to me because of the basic subject matter, they also give some indication as to the real reasons that the United States won the war, causes that have less to do with "will" and high-flying rhetoric than with technical expertise and economic strength.
