...This much is known about Abe. He is a born conservative?literally. As the grandson of Nobusuke Kishi and the grandnephew of Eisaku Sato?two of postwar Japan's most powerful and conservative Prime Ministers?Abe always knew which side he was on. Katsuei Hirasawa, now an LDP Diet member, tutored a young Abe for two years, and he recalls taking the primary-school student to his dorm at the University of Tokyo, at the heart of Japan's 1960s political tumult. "He would be right in the middle of pacifist, anti-Sato protests," Hirasawa recalls. "He wasn't angry...
...public funeral for former Prime Minister Eisaku Sato in June of this year, a right-wing extremist slipped through the lines and punched Prime Minister Takeo Miki in the face, knocking him down. That prompted formation of a new security force modeled on the U.S. Secret Service and made up of crack recruits trained in judo, marksmanship and detection of movement within a 90 vision field. The greatest threat of violence in recent years has come from new-left radicals, some 6,000 of whom have vowed to stop Emperor Hirohito from boarding his plane this week for a state...
...Died. Eisaku Sato, 74, Premier of Japan from 1964 to 1972; of complications following a stroke; in Tokyo. Son of a sake brewer and brother of Nobusuke Kishi, Japan's Prime Minister from 1957 to 1960, Sato was a master of the Japanese art of consensus, which he used to rule the country's dominant but faction-ridden Liberal-Democratic Party and manage a policy of government-assisted industrial growth that transformed Japan into an economic superpower. The greatest coup of his steadfastly pro-U.S. foreign policy came in 1969 when the Nixon Administration made an agreement...
...electronics giant for 17 years. An affable, scholarly man who made pottery and wrote poetry, he held hundreds of management, advisory and honorary posts in business and public affairs. In the mid-1960s, as chairman of Osaka's Expo '70, the redoubtable Ishizaka pressured a reluctant Premier Eisaku Sato into furnishing ample funds. After twelve years as president of the powerful Federation of Economic Organizations, which is semiofficial overseer of the country's industrial machine, Ishizaka resigned at 81, then took on the presidency of Japan's Arabian Oil Co. Said he: "I am not allowed...
...Viet Nam, there were not even any A's to be awarded for success, however flawed, but only for effort. On that basis, the Nobel committee again divided the Peace Prize last week, naming former Irish Foreign Minister Sean Mac-Bride, 70, and former Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, 73. MacBride's achievement was somewhat less dubious than that of Sato: the Irishman was one of the founders and until recently chair man of Amnesty International, a group working for the release of political prisoners. He has headed Geneva's Inter national Peace Bureau, the world...
