It had been a close thing, clearly demonstrating the dangers of divided command. In the end, however, the combined operations of Kinkaid's and Halsey's forces virtually eliminated the Japanese Navy as a factor in the Pacific war.

Every Heart A Doorway is an ambitious mixture of genres. It plays tribute to every portal fantasy you can think of, from Aliceâs Adventures in Wonderland through to Narnia and beyond, and even comes up with a novel system for mapping fantastical worlds.
The heart consists of 4 chambers, 2 atria (upper chambers) and 2 ventricles (lower chambers). Blood passes through a valve before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. Valves are actually flaps (leaflets) that act as one-way inlets for blood coming into a ventricle and one-way outlets for blood leaving a ventricle.
