...advance assurances that possession of Etorofu and Kunashiri would "continue to be the subject of negotiations" even after a peace settlement. To pacify the businessmen, the Hatoyama government promptly sent Japan's Roving Ambassador Shunichi Matsumoto off; to Russia to seek such assurances. Last week, after letting Matsumoto cool his heels in a hotel room for three days, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Nikolai Federenko gave the Soviet reply: "Russia is ready to welcome Premier Hatoyama to Moscow for the purpose of signing a pact normalizing relations between the two nations.

...officer in World War II, at the age of 27. In his childhood he was shuttled between expensive pillar and posh post (King George V "saluted" him as he rode in London's Rotten Row) until he came to look at his famous father with a cool eye. He would brace himself to lecture him on the evils of drink only to find the unpredictable Hal had become his sober, fascinating self again. The boy's judgement still stands: "Father's a bit difficult at times, but I love the old bastard...
