Money comes in through "voluntary" contributions, and most of it is lavished on its Taisekiji temple (which it hopes to make a national shrine) at the foot of Fujiyama and on some 130 branch temples scattered throughout Japan. Claiming a membership of 1,100,000 families, the current sect leader, Takashi Koizumi, 52, explains that the move into politics is "simply insurance. Several years ago we began getting official interference, and that was when we decided we must have our representatives in the Diet."

...second place among the publications, almost three-fifths of the College students read Henry R. Luce's Time, and more than a third also look at his Life. Though some students violently criticize these two magazines--for their tendency to transform current events into a modern morality play, and for their use of irrelevant detail to lend an air of precision and accuracy to accomplish generalizations--the slick, fast-moving style of Time and Life apparently appeals even to Harvard's high intellectual level.
