...unfair trade practices to strangle its sales there. "It is critical that U.S. firms achieve full access to Japan's market, a market roughly comparable in size to that of the United States," Trade Representative Mickey Kantor said today. Kodak has exhaustively documented its allegations that Japanese film giant Fuji owns or controls most of the film distribution networks in Japan and has limited Kodak to a market share of less than 10 percent. "The irony here," saysTIME's William McWhirter, "is that while Kodak has a much clearer case than the U.S. automakers did, it is not likely...
...could have been horrific. To triumph in that war, the cult built a series of munitions factories within its complex at the foot of Mount Fuji. Aum researchers were trying to develop germ weapons -- including the Ebola virus -- and an assembly line was about to produce automatic rifles. Behind one building's false walls was a $700,000 lab able to turn out 60 to 80 kg a month of the nerve gas sarin -- enough to kill 6 million to 8 million people.

Nearly 400 police officers descended on Aum Shinrikyo's headquarters near Mount Fuji, capturing the cult's bearded leader, Shoko Asahara, after finding him hidden in a coffinlike secret chamber four hours after the raid began. He was arrested and held without bail on murder charges connected with the March 20 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway. If convicted, he faces life imprisonment or death by hanging. Asahara denies ordering the attack, but key senior cult members have confessed to having produced sarin-and to having used it in the subway gassing...
