While the ceremony took place, Prime Minister Ranasinghe Premadasa was busy giving alms of yellow rice, curd, fruit and cake to Buddhist monks. "I asked them not to sign this, even yesterday," he told the monks. "There is terrorism in Sri Lanka only because India is backing it." Since many of Jayewardene's ruling United National Party members feel no different, the agreement stands a slim chance of winning ratification in Parliament.

Indeed, many of these ingredients first appeared in this country on the menus of health-food restaurants...
...Japanese-Americans scattered around the county. A brand new, $12.6 million cultural complex provides reminders of home: a lush, still garden of camphor and golden-rain trees, a sleek theater for Japanese-language productions, a brick plaza for a snack of age tofu (deep-fried soybean curd) and a stroll...
