Comments

• January 1968: This was the first editorial by Paul Tzimoulis, and I believe the first editorial that ever appeared in SDM that had a title. This editorial appeared exactly one year after Paul Tzimoulis became editor (in January 1967).
• October 1968: The Akibasan Maru is in Kwajalein Lagoon, Micronesia. Also called P-Buoy, it's a 375-foot freighter.
