...boom," he says. "I looked to my right. I saw a guy with a gun. The first thing I thought was 'Duck!'" Brown says more shots were fired in a matter of seconds. "It was like a running gunfight." He saw the flash of a gun, then saw Chestnut on the ground bleeding heavily. "Officer down!" someone shouted. Angela Dickerson, a 24-year-old tourist from Virginia, was wounded in the face and shoulder. One man threw his wife to the ground and lay on top of her. Families were separated in the melee as they raced to find someplace...
Ronald Beamish, 69, visiting from England, went over to Chestnut and felt for a pulse; it was failing. "You'll be all right," he said. "You'll be all right."

It's physically more apparent in this hemisphere. With Seven-Eleven, KFC and bowling around, who needs sleepy Chestnut Ridge, N.Y.? And as for Japanese culture in America, I certainly remember watching kabuki as child--on an episode of "Alvin and the Chipmunks."
