"Will Rogers never met you, did he?"
Headquarters is not letting any second class mail come through and everyone is concerned about not having any newspapers. Meanwhile, Winchester receives some tea and a week's worth of the Boston Globe from his parents. Winchester refuses to let his roommates read them and insists that they be kept a secret, but, when the major comes out of O. R., he finds Father Mulcahy reading one. Pretty soon news of the newspapers has reached everyone and Winchester promises to release the newspapers one a day, after he has read it first. Then the major finds out that the May fifth issue is missing and assumes it has been stolen. He refuses to let anyone have any newspapers until the issue is returned. The camp retaliates by taking Winchester's clothes and then all his stuff except the newspapers. Nurse Kelly insults the major in Japanese with English subtitles. Winchester responds by playing his music at 3:00 in the morning and is about to pull the mess tent down on everyone when Colonel Potter stops him. Later, Klinger drives off with the jeep bringing the tent down on Major Winchester. It turns out the May fifth issue of the Boston Globe was not delivered due to a strike. A North Korean prisoner is brought in wounded and South Korean guards are sent to watch him. One of the guards, it turns out, is the prisoner's brother. Hawkeye and BJ stage a phony emergency so that the two can talk to each other.
Trivia: With the missing newspapers, what was Colonel Potter worried about?
The shower heads in the shower on the right side of the stalls in this episode with respect to the camera angle. Usually they are on the left side of the stalls. There is a man with a beard and modern clothing in the scene when the camp first learns about Winchester's newspapers. He is trying to stand motionless behind the distance signs outside the O. R. entrance. The headline of the first newspaper Winchester reads reports that Secretary General of the United Nations Trygve Lie is stepping down. This would be November 10, 1952 - not anywhere near May 5th. Both Byron Chung and James Saito have had multiple appearances on "M*A*S*H". This is James Saito's final appearance.
An OK episode.
