A fast-talking, 160-lb. dynamo popularly known as "the Computerized Bulldozer," he is Japan's youngest (54) postwar Premier and the first to come from outside the narrow university-bred elite that has produced almost all Japanese leaders since World War II. The son of a poor cattle dealer, Tanaka vaulted into the upper reaches of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party after he had made millions in construction and land development.

While walking through a Moscow market, Schecter was stopped by a woman shopkeeper and presented with a bouquet of tulips. "Moscow is at its best this week," he concluded, "and it's fun to be back...

The readings thus provide new support for the disputed theory that the moon once rotated rapidly and had a molten iron core. Acting like a dynamo as the moon spun through space, this core could have created a strong lunar magnetic field...
