    Misconceptions of World War II

    I see. I really didn't know. If the third had been used on Tokyo, it may not have been to the benefit of the allied cause. The Emperor most likely would have been killed and thus would no longer have been a "moderating" influence on the military, which, I understand, was prepared to fight on...

    Is a Dinner Jacket too much for a Cocktail Party?

    I hate to have anyone pass up a chance to wear evening semi-formal/black tie but unless the invitation says "black tie" or "black tie preferred" I would recommend not doing so.
