...urged Japanese women to have more children (the current fertility rate is 1.29 children per woman), appealing to traditional family values while also promising to boost child-care support.

In a Jan. 27 speech exhorting them to have more children, Health Minister Hakuo Yanagisawa referred to Japanese women as "baby-making machines."

The letters appear to be form letters, but occasionally the Bishop used the name and address of an executive's family as a return address. Both the letters and IED packages were sent by priority mail and the recipient's name in the second line of the address was underlined. The bomb packages came in white cardboard boxes and were postmarked Jan. 26, 2007, from Rolling Meadows, Illinois, but carried...
