Common Knowledge

First words
It is significant that although in more than two years of war with Japan we have consistently decried "island hopping," this war has been a war of "island hopping."
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Nothing but the most crushing and bitter disaster involving the demolition of Japanese cities and the sweep of United Nations forces through the land from Nagasaki to Tokyo will make war distasteful to the Japanese people and shake the traditional belief that it is the ultimate desitny of their Tenshi, Heavenly King, to rule the world.
