On April 18, 1945, Ernie Pyle, who, many say, spoke for the World War II American soldier, was killed in a ambush on a Pacific island. In his Breeze column today, John Bogert calls Pyle America's only true literary columnist. Some of the Pyle columns, which offer a glimpse of the ordeals of war faced by combatants and which ring true 63 years after his death, can found at the Web site of his alma mater, Indiana University.
