...Kenji Osano, one of the most powerful and controversial Japanese entrepreneurs, the results of December's national elections were bittersweet. As a close friend of, and chief political fund-raiser for, Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, Osano, 55, could bask in reflected glory. But as a free-wheeling entrepreneur who has done remarkably well under the long-governing Liberal Democratic Party, he had cause for concern about its losses in the Diet. He could also ponder the gains of Communists and Socialists, who intend to push harder their charges that he uses his personal and business relationship with Tanaka...
...APPROACHED THE KINKS from ignorance. Not total ignorance but one sufficient enough to foster slight misgivings about writing on them. I for one feel an ethical responsibility to bask in the bosom of my bands, and I cannot bask in Ray Davies' bosom.

Meanwhile, Giscard-and most of his fellow citizens-seems content to bask in the first rays of what he calls "the enjoyable epoch...
...lines. (Isn't it incredible that mentioning morality should instantly consign one to the realms of the banal?) Political lines. So it looks as if old Henry, fresh from the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Asians fighting for their right to self-determination, will come back here to bask in the glow of adoring undergraduates and (mostly) graduate students. What kind of people are these? What kind of person am I that I talk civilly to them? How can I have gone to dinner with the past head of the Government Department, sipped my wine and listened...
