Drachinifel has a vid with Jon Parshall discussing Midway. In the vid, Mr. Parshall is consuming a drink called a "CINCPAC". He said it was a drink Admiral Nimitz had served to his guests.
The recipe is:
1 oz Bourbon
1 oz dark rum
a couple of dashes of Angastoura bitters
a cube of Demirara sugar
lots of ice
I hope I got it right.

On October 12, 1960, a very popular Japanese politician Inejiro Asanuma(62) was stabbed and killed as Japan Socialist Party's General Secretary by a nationalist boy Otoya Yamaguchi(17). The year 1960 was a turning point for the Japanese postwar politics as PM Nobusuke Kishi (Abe's grandfather) renewed the US-Japan Security Treaty as an endless one. He was also stabbed by another nationalist in the year.
