He ran his outfit at night. This involved interception of longwave Japanese radio messages from the coast, and the relay of intelligence to Chungking. He also oversaw a team of translators who turned out a Chinese version of U.S. propaganda for distribution to local Chinese newspapers situated throughout southwest China. He was a night owl by nature. “ ‘Early to rise, early to bed, makes a man poor, foolish and dead’ is my preferred version of that particular adage,” my father once wrote.¹³ In Yung-an, he worked at night, and took naps during the day. He slept in a bedroll, fully clothed, the way the Chinese did, to stay warm. He roamed the local hills by himself, but he was not without companionship when he wanted it. He ate with Chinese friends in the local chop shops when he went to town and made use of the local bathhouse.",
