		As neither Joseph nor Napoleon had a male heir, the eldest brother, whose ideas of primogeniture were very strict, claimed to be recognized as heir, while Napoleon wished to recognize the son of Louis Bonaparte.
		The memoirs of Count Miot de Melito, whom Joseph appointed minister of war, show how great were the difficulties with which the new monarch had to contend an almost bankrupt treasury, a fickle and degraded populace, Bourbon intrigues and plots, and frequent attacks by the British from Sicily.
		Joseph took this step in April 1811, and proceeded to Paris in order to extort better terms, or offer his abdication; but he had to return with a monthly subsidy of 500,000 francs and the promise that the army of the centre (the smallest of the five French frmies) should be under his control.

		Rochefort said he was grateful for one thing: The party's organizers at least had had the sense to stay away from a hotel, which might have left them to the tender mercies of the shore patrol.
		The argument, as officially stated, was that Rochefort had "merely efficiently used the tools previously prepared for his use," which had a grain of truth, and that "equal credit is due" to Washington for "correct evaluation of enemy intentions," which was a whopper.
		Rochefort once again read the situation more accurately than his boss; he told everyone that he was not going to be coming back.

		Rochefort would come home every evening at five or six o'clock with his stomach in knots from the tension of the problem he was tackling.
		Rochefort argued that the clincher was an order that air base equipment was to be shipped to Saipan to be in position for the "AF ground crews." AF was obviously an island air base; it was, Rochefort insisted, a matter of simple deduction to see that it had to be Midway.

		Though Nimitz was thoroughly convinced that Layton and Rochefort were correct--he had gone so far as to travel to Midway for a personal inspection of its defense capabilities--he was understandably hesitant about ordering his limited resources to one specific area in the Pacific (Prange 37, 45).
		The work of Commander Joseph Rochefort and his fellow cryptologists on intercepting and analyzing the Japanese communications afforded Admiral Chester Nimitz a priceless advantage at the Battle of Midway.
		Joseph F. Persico’s exploration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s use of intelligence and espionage in World War II was a priceless resource for me. The information is extremely comprehensive, very interesting, and is presented in a format that is very easy to read and understand.

		Joseph Rochefort revealed the Nagumo broadcasts directly to Admiral Kimmel in the Communications (sic) [Intelligence] Summary dated November 25 but delivered to the Admiral the next morning.
		First of all, if Rochefort intended to report such activity by Nagumo as the main actor in such "extensive communications", he would have put that entry under the heading of "Combined Fleet" which Nagumo and his carriers fell operationally and administratively under.
		A review of Station H supervisors's reports, pencilled notes on TESTM reports, and Rochefort's Comint summaries for 1941 show that Station Cast is almost invariably referred to as "Cavite." This is obviously a hangover from the many, many years the station was at Cavite and the fact that its military administration was still at Cavite.

		I knew at the time of 7 December 1941, and for months preceding this date that Commander Rochefort was in charge of the unit which consisted of an intercept radio station, a radio direction finder station, and crypto-analytical units in Pearl Harbor.
