...this day especially, Sugamo's shopkeepers are pioneers in an increasingly important retailing speciality: selling to seniors. Five years ago, the local McDonald's menu listed french fries as simply "potato" and Filet-O-Fish as "fish hamburgers." Customers today are more familiar with the fare. Big Macs are on offer. So are 100-yen (92?) cheeseburgers and sandwiches with steamed buns, popular because they are cheap and soft. "Toasted buns are too hard for them," explains manager Hayato Akasako.

They're called "movies of quality," which really means movies of piety--stories of cozy spiritual uplift (Mrs. Miniver, Going My Way) or, more recently, of superior damaged creatures (Rain Man, A Beautiful Mind). And they're often chosen over edgier fare. Thus, in 1977 the softhearted Rocky beat four superior films (All the President's Men, Bound for Glory, Network and Taxi Driver), and in 1982 another inspirational sports movie, Chariots of Fire, won out over Reds and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
