After years of feeling unwanted in a-strange land, even those not lulled by Sung's song agreed with Bok Young Kyun, father of four, who said: "The children have no future in Japan and neither have...

...drab suburb of Arcueil, four miles south of Paris, stands an undistinguished building with a partly frosted glass window through which may be glimpsed a plaster angel negligently hung upside down. A bronze shingle on the door identifies the place as the foundry of the Susse Brothers, a name as famous among modern sculptors as Benvenuto Cellini's. Many major sculptors will have their works cast by no other foundry...
