...unlikely terrorist attacks– are less assured than the undeniable costs of a more discriminatory and insular Japan. With its beguiling culture, intriguing history, and cutting-edge electronic innovations, Japan has much to offer the world. The world also has much to offer Japan, including an infusion of fresh ideas about how to reform an ossified politico-economic order largely unchanged since the early years of the Cold War.

Although readers look forward to positive change, their hopes are tempered by scepticism As a French student, I appreciated your article about France's reforming behind the scenes [May 1]. I have to say it gives me hope to see an American magazine offering such a nice vision of France. Your report revealed the extent to which the French are struggling...
