She is his onetime wife, whose portrait, for a decade, he has kept among the bottles in his desk. By the time he is ready to organize his defense...
...depreciated currency are not legitimate factors in trade. They, together with the low standard of wages in Japan, and false labels on goods, are what are enabling that country to ruin this country.
