on this date 50 years ago, a terrible dawn proved once again John Donne's old line that "no man is an island." Dive bombers and aerial torpedo planes from carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy struck airfields across Oahu and began their run on ships at Pearl Harbor. This morning at 7:55 a.m., America will pause to mourn and remember over 2,400 military and civilians who died in the infamous Dec. 7 attack. And a watching world will look to the solemn ceremonies to see how well anyone has learned that lesson repeated by the 17th-century preacher-poet that no man stands alone, that all are part of the main. President Bush is expected to challenge old enemies of every conflict to make Dec.

For the adversaries who met in battle 50 years ago, today is a last By Stu Glauberman Advertiser Staff Writer Japanese warplanes bombed military targets across Oahu on this date 50 years ago, launching America into a bloody but ultimately victorious Pacific war and plunging Hawaii into a period of uncertainty and military rule. President Bush, a Navy veteran who flew some 50 combat missions in the Pacific war, arrived in Honolulu yesterday afternoon to remember that infamous day and as he told reporters before leaving the Mainland yesterday -to stress that the war was "a turning point, really, in terms of peace and freedom." "For me, it will INSIDE: Details on TV coverage of Pearl Harbor events PAGE A4 More on commemoration PAGE A3, A6 be emotional because, like a lot of those veterans out there, I lost friends, my roommates, two roommates, killed in action off our carrier," Bush said before flying to Hawaii. The president, who flew in from California with his wife, Barbara, and other dignitaries aboard Air Force One, will join thousands of other veterans at Punchbowl this morning, then at Pearl Harbor, for solemn ceremonies and speeches commemorating this day. He leaves this afternoon for Washington.

At sites around Oahu today, Americans will be urged to remember those who died on Dec. 7, 1941, and think of today as a day of healing. The president said he holds no rancor toward Japan. He said he would "approach it as a day of healing, appropriately honoring those who died at Pearl Harbor and those who were killed in World War II after Pearl Harbor." Members of the Pearl Harbor generation who bear a grudge against the enemies of half a century ago will be asked to forget their anger and pain. Today's memories will be particularly sharp for Bush.

He was shot down by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery on Sept. 1, 1944, and rescued by a U.S. submarine.

In time, those for whom Pearl Harbor is a real memory will all have joined their fallen shipmates, friends and families. Those less than 50 years old already wonder what the fuss is all about.

The Japanese, fearful of a trade backlash, are in "deep reflection for having caused unbearable agony and sorrow," their government says. "Too late," say some American survivors, isolating themselves in remembered pain. And yet both veterans and Japanese visitors blinked back tears at the Arizona Memorial this week.
