...ignored or discounted by the West. Sensitive Japanese are already wincing at the journalists' jeers in England at the discovery that a London public relations firm had been hired to boost the Premier's stock there. Other Japanese fear a disaster like the visit to London of Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama, who insisted on making a TV appearance. When, with the camera on him, he was shown a box of Japanese ball bearings that copied a well-known British brand and was asked what he had to say, Fujiyama indignantly stalked out, while his agitated aide cried: "Japan...

Four years later he launched the Legal Center (TIME, April 30, 1951; Sept. 10, 1956), a brilliant idea to give U.S. and foreign lawyers a headquarters for topflight research. Fiery Attorney Storey ("I'm a great believer in the rule of law, not men") will continue as Legal Center president. "I don't know why anybody thinks I'm retiring," he says.
