...This does not mean that Japan needs to turn away from its old friend, commercial partner and provider of military security, the U.S. Hatoyama's recent call for a "more equal" relationship with Washington raised concerns that the DPJ might tinker with sensitive issues like the relocation of American military bases in Japan, affecting the two nations' longstanding security pact. But DPJ leaders, who have little experience in international diplomacy, know they can't afford to upset the alliance, the cornerstone of Japanese foreign policy...
...prism through which American politics is viewed is normally that of the presidency. But that can be misleading. Article I of the Constitution is not concerned with the presidency at all (that's covered in Article II), but the legislature.

He sounds more sensible than menacing when he says of his government, "This is a revolution, peaceful but armed." Standing near a corn-processing factory, he jokes, "This is where we build the Iranian atomic bomb. A corn bomb...
...from high-fashion quarters. As far back as the 1920s, Coco Chanel made white a year-round staple. "It was a permanent part of her wardrobe," says Bronwyn Cosgrave, author of The Complete History of Costume & Fashion: From Ancient Egypt to the Present Day. The trend is embraced with equal vigor by today's fashion élites, Cosgrave notes - from Marion Cotillard accepting her 2008 Academy Award in a mermaid-inspired cream dress to Michelle Obama dancing the inaugural balls away in a snowy floor-length gown. Fashion rules are meant to be broken by those who can pull...
