Opportunity to help children

Recently the focus of actress Aoi Miyazaki on the problem of trafficked children has been a wonderful way to get the attention of so many who can help. As a resident of San Francisco, I personally would like to volunteer my own efforts in this work.

Don't call it a surprise attack

Regarding the Dec. 8 editorial "Remember Pearl Harbor": I agree with the details of the editorial, but allow me to warn that even the Japanese subterfuge of breaking off negotiations at the time should not obscure the fact that the public and U.S. military in Hawaii were at least aware of the imminent possibility of a Japanese attack on or near Dec. 7. Headlines on the front page of the Honolulu Advertiser of Nov. 30, 1941, state: "Japanese May Strike Over Weekend." In addition, Washington journalist Joseph Leib received documents from Secretary of State Cordell Hull two weeks before the attack declaring that Japan would attack Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7. A sneak attack? Yes. A surprise attack? No. david rothauser
