...were kids. Cinemoppet Shirley Temple was the #1 star in 1936, 37 and 38; the third year of her reign, she turned 10. Temple was followed by three years (1939-41) when Mickey Rooney, then in and out of his teens, was the #1 attraction. (Both stars are largely forgotten, but not gone. They're, respectively...
Vanya Solntsev is an orphan, filed and forgotten in a Russian children's home so bleak that Dickens himself would have hesitated to describe it.

And the fact that this seems to have been forgotten by the world's first-largest economy remains a bit a sore point here. Or as one Diet member told me that day: "Hey! We're Number Two!" It's not that Japan wants a trade war again, but you know, it is nice to be noticed...
