...respect, Sato should get help from the nation's intellectuals, who play an important political role. No longer as ritualistically left-wing as they once were, they influence foreign policy and stimulate public debate, generate national consensus or fragment it through articles in such publications as Chuo Koron (Central Forum), Japan's leading intellectual monthly. At the cutting edge of the intellectuals today is a group known as "the New Realists," men educated for the most part in Britain and the U.S., who bring a hard, analytical view of the world to Japan's foreign policy...

Poking the Foibles. One of his most satiric series was his dozen oils of Hu-dibras, the central figure in Samuel Butler's scathing poem on puritanical hypocrisy. Hudibras was ignorant, conceited, preachy, distempered, vain-a cocksure jackass. Butler used him to poke fun at reformers, and so did Hogarth...
