Japan's average wages, now 94¢ an hour, passed Italy's in 1969 and France's last year...
...seemed to see his whole native land, his home-the dirt, the earth which had bred his bones and those of his fathers for six generations and was still shaping him into not just a man but a specific man, not with just a man's passions and aspirations and beliefs but the specific passions and hopes and convictions and ways of thinking and acting of a specific individual and even race...
