Here's why: Although Bush won't see much of it, he is visiting a Japan that is being shaken to its roots by a decade of economic decline. The excess and hubris that once bought Rockefeller Center and Pebble Beach golf courses have been replaced by a growing malaise. Joblessness, bankruptcy, crime and suicide, once rare in Japan, are now just average headlines. In the recession-ravaged hot-springs resort town of Yufuin, citizens are hedging their futures by resorting to barter trade.

On a recent episode, confident coquette Pamela met Tony, an electronics salesman with a knack for skirt-chasing. The two began the date with a long stroll on the beach, where Pamela dropped her robe and revealed a strapless two-piece bathing suit and an even tan.
