Japanese workers won a 32.9% across-the-board pay increase last year but agreed to a raise of only 14% this spring. The awesome force of the Japanese work ethic is still evident. Last year hundreds of thousands of employees, protected by lifetime job guarantees, were paid but told not to come to work. Many responded by voluntarily cleaning factories or popping into retail stores to help sell their companies' products. Explained a Matsushita Electric official: "The workers told...
...TURKISH CYPRIOTS have instituted an autonomous administration in the northern territory that they have resettled.

Indeed, he was afraid that nothing he had ever written would last, that in his columns he was preaching only to those already converted. His aloof, critical onlooker's ethic, valid professionally, no longer could sustain his life. As he himself says, in the third-person prose that achieves objectivity. "His sense of self had finally required of him that he go into the pit." And once having seen the hostages huddled in their ring and having heard the impassioned speeches...
