...unflinching diary of his days and nights in Baghdad proved eye-opening to readers. Scores wrote to thank him, many finding sobering contrast between how they lead their lives and how Ghosh, Baghdad citizens and coalition troops must cope during wartime Reading Aparisim Ghosh's brilliantly evocative "Baghdad Diary" [Aug. 28] at the back door of my typically English bungalow on a gently warm late summer's day was utterly bizarre.

Once a close ally of Koizumi, Kato had become vocal in his criticism of the Prime Minister's trips to Yasukuni. On Aug. 15, the day Koizumi made his latest visit to the shrine, a right-wing activist allegedly set fire to Kato's family house in the legislator's hometown of Tsuruoka. Kato believes the attack is a symptom of a new "fighting nationalism" that could be easily abused...
