...former, according to a spokesman, would be an "unfair and misguided imposition on Mr. Gates's time." On the latter, Microsoft stuck to its well-worn Coke analogy; the source code, it said, was the "software equivalent to the formula for Coca-Cola."

And as for Japanese culture in America, I certainly remember watching kabuki as child--on an episode of "Alvin and the Chipmunks."
