When, after Commodore Matthew Perry opened Japan to the world, the Shogun of Japan sent a special emissary to Washington in 1860 to observe the U.S. Congress at work, the appalled official duly reported back: "It's like the Nihonbashi fish market!'' Japan's own Diet, patterned in part after the U.S. Congress, was even more a fish market last week. What should have been a mere formality-the re-election of pro-Western Nobusuke Kishi, 61, who had resigned as Premier in accordance with the constitution after the last general elections (TIME, June 2)-turned...

Youngsters growing up on the desert feel more at home with shish kebab and Arab bread than with mother's gefüllte fish and apple strudel. Half the newcomers of recent years are Oriental Jews who never shared the peculiar Zionist and Socialist vision of Ben-Gurion's generation, and not even the old lawgiver can keep half their young folk down on the farm for more than the first year or two.

This was strong talk between two NATO allies. But for generations 25% of all British fishermen's catch has been taken just beyond the three-mile limit, in the haddock-and cod-crammed waters of the Icelandic shelf. At stake is nothing less than the traditionally cheap fish-'n'-chips fare of the great seafaring nation. Iceland explained it acted only from "the need to conserve" the cod and haddock. Icelanders themselves now net 48% of the catch (up 17% since before the war), and it furnishes 90% of their exports. Biggest customer: Soviet Russia, which last...
