Physically the U.S. theater is more robust than its gloomy pulse takers are willing to admit. Broadway is staging a minor revolution, from spruced-up theaters to flexible ticket pricing.

When asked whether his successor, U. Alexis Johnson, had been chosen to please the Japanese conservative business interests, Reischauer replies that he doubts Ambassador Johnson will devote any more time to trade negotiation than he did. Reischauer, however, does admit that the conservatives and businessmen in Japan were deeply concerned when he was first appointed. He attributes this anxiety to the "head-in-the-clouds image as a professor" which preceded him.
