Outside Washington, it might have been difficult last week to scratch up an argument on such momentous subjects as H-bomb fallout or trade with Red China, but nearly every mother's son and every son's mother had an opinion about the case of an American soldier facing trial in a Japanese court. It was not the first time a G.I. faced trial in a foreign court, nor would it be the last.
