Freely translated means: I found my love, a tall golden girl, in the cruel, teeming, thousand-angled city that was Tokyo, post-havoc, mid-occupation, death-hungry for Mate Buchanan. I am Buchanan. Mate Buchanan, that is, ex-G.I., court-martial and all, sent to this smiling, bowing, treacherous town on a mission, literally, of life -- or holocaust for the world at large. The golden girl is Sandra Tann, the one they call the Witch of Tokyo. She of the velvet voice, the unsavory Nippon friends, and an incurable desire to meddle in my affairs. I saw her first on the broad street between Hibaya [sic] Park and the Imperial Hotel. Three men were trying to burn her to death.
