...Though manufacturers were pouring out vaccine far faster than expected (3,700,000 doses last week), there was a serious snarl over who was to get the inoculations and when.

Officially, only a limited number of nightclubs were permitted in the capital, and the sword-swinging prewar Japanese police force saw to it that decorum was the order of the day as well as the night. Now all this has changed. In twelve feverish, prosperous postwar years, Tokyo has had an explosive growth. Not only is it now the new Shanghai of the Far East, but it has also overtaken New York and London and become the largest city in the world...
