I’m on the road today making the long drive to Texas so I asked Homer if he would post this week’s copy of LIFE magazine for me.

I also have one item from my notes. It’s just an observation made by General George S. Patton concerning the proper use of tanks in this modern war.

"As you will see from my remarks, I am obsessed with the idea that tanks should be used as quail-shooting weapons and not as buffalos" - George S. Patton to Willis D. Crittenberger

The much anticipated feature on the Bismarck-Hood encounter is not ready this week. For baseball fans, though, there is a dandy piece on Satchel Paige, beginning on page 90. Plus a Miss Lovely Legs contest and exercises to perform in bed.

LIFE has really turned into an excellent picture magazine. Henry Luce has assembled an amazing staff at Time-Life, including Whittaker Chambers and James Agee. In these days before television, magazines are bringing pictures into the homes of average Americans.

As it happens, I just got in from making a longer drive to Texas from the other direction.
