The Japanese invaded Tulagi, in the Solomon Islands, on May 4.

I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.

The good news was that Enterprise and the newly arrived Yorktown had attacked the Marshall and Gilbert islands. Those attacks had a great effect on morale.

If it's free, it's advice; if you pay for it, it's counseling; if you can use either one, it's a miracle.

In basic training we had been told to watch out for Japanese spies.

Our task force put to sea in early January 1942, to attack the Japanese in the Marshall and Gilbert islands, but the mission was called off on the eve of the attack.

We made air attacks on the Japanese anchorage, sinking and damaging several vessels. However, the Japanese were alerted to the fact that American carriers were nearby.

A chief petty officer taught me shorthand, which got me promoted to yeoman first class.

Lexington did launch its air group when a Japanese carrier was reported.

I passed a typing test and became a member of the staff of Rear Adm. Newton.

Another nice thing was that I would type out letters home for the admiral's stewards. They would then feed me the same food the admiral ate.

Everybody knew that I could type pretty well.

You could tell that America was gearing up for war.

On December 5, 1941, Chicago led a task force built around the carrier Lexington to Midway Island, at the western end of the Hawaiian Islands, about 1,000 miles from Pearl Harbor.

Chicago's buoy was a couple of hundred yards astern of Arizona, and I was saddened to look at her.

I was assigned to the heavy cruiser Chicago.

My observations of Japanese naval fighting men, their abilities and equipment led me to believe that they gave a better account of themselves than we did.

My assignment was in the communications office, where I typed out dispatches.

After the Battle of Midway there was a week in a rest camp at Pearl Harbor.

We began intercepting Japanese radio transmissions, which indicated the two forces were very close to each other. We found out later that we were moving in opposite directions and passed each other by 32 miles.

If its free its advice if you pay for it its counseling if you can use either one its a miracle.

Islands are known to differ in the food supply available to ground finches, mainly seeds.

The good news was that Enterprise and the newly arrived Yorktown had attacked the Marshall and Gilbert islands. Those attacks had a great effect on morale.

The other exception where we did not at all restore the place to its original condition is the Surrounded Islands. Before we installed our fabric, we had our workers remove 42 tons of garbage off the beaches of those islands. We never brought the garbage back.

A nice pop star would do you nice on one of those deserted islands.

The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees.

Lest those islands still seem to you too remote in space and time to be relevant to our modern societies, just think about the risks... of our increasing globalization and increasing worldwide economic interdependence.

If I read not amiss, this powerful race will move down upon Mexico, down upon Central and South America, out upon the islands of the sea, over upon Africa and beyond. And can any one doubt that the results of this competition of races will be the "survival of the fittest?"

In the islands of the Aegean Sea, every island is full of graves.

I love giving gifts and I love receiving them. I really like giving little kids extravagant gifts. You see their little faces light up and they get excited. If it's a really good gift, I love receiving it, like jewels, small islands.

I got space from Travis Air Force Base, went back to the Philippine Islands and made it a point to meet the only American casting director in the Philippines. I was off and running.

More varied than any landscape was the landscape in the sky, with islands of gold and silver, peninsulas of apricot and rose against a background of many shades of turquoise and azure.

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.

My boyhood saw Greek islands floating over Harvard Square.

Natural erosion had reduced the critical barrier islands in the Gulf, the result of the destruction of some 300,000 acres of wetlands. This amounted to 30 miles of marshlands.

No doubt these rocky islands have suggested the idea worked out in gardens, and they have been well imitated.

When I'm not working, my family and I have a house in the San Juan Islands. We've been here since '94.

My father used to run auctions. He's now a singer in the Canary Islands.

I don't want to go to the Bahamas on holiday. I hate islands. I want to go to Brittany, where it's cold and raining, and there's nothing fancy about it.

On December 5, 1941, Chicago led a task force built around the carrier Lexington to Midway Island, at the western end of the Hawaiian Islands, about 1,000 miles from Pearl Harbor.

There are no countries in the world less known by the British than those selfsame British Islands.

The rain, which had continued yesterday and last night, ceased this morning. We then proceeded, and after passing two small islands about ten miles further, stopped for the night at Piper's landing, opposite another island.

California is an island, and New York's an island. Maybe it's time for me to change islands.

Every article on these islands has an almost personal character, which gives this simple life, where all art is unknown, something of the artistic beauty of medieval life.

I feel we are all islands - in a common sea.

We're performing several shows in the Canary Islands.

It has been popular to threaten "small islands and low-lying coasts" with scenarios of disastrous future flooding. The Maldives has been the most utilised target. We have undertaken a careful analysis of actual sea level changes in the Maldives. No rise has been recorded either in the present or the past centuries.
