...from ground level the thing it most resembles is a moon crater roofed over with a shallow, translucent dome. The pavilion covers an oval area approximately the size of two football fields. Its solid, earth-filled walls slope as gently inward and upward as the lower slopes of Fujiyama. Halfway up, the solid earth gives way to an airy, translucent blister. Made of vinyl-coated fiber glass, this roof is laced by restraining cables and is supported entirely by a cushion of compressed...
...shows an auto deserting a pair of newlyweds to get a quick belt of KRC. A few years ago, Chevrolet displayed a car atop a spire-like butte in the Mojave Desert. Ah so, said the Toyota people, and right away they airlifted their sedan to the top of Fujiyama. Now in what promises to become the acrophobia sell, there is a new hair-coloring ad showing a girl atop another outcropping in the Colorado high country declaring to the world that "New Dawn sets you free...

His strongly arched Kabuki-actor eyebrows barely twitched at the final count: 289 votes for Sato, 170 against...
Though none of his challengers appeared strong enough to unseat Sato in the near future (Fujiyama led the opposition with 89 votes), the election clearly showed that the party is uneasy with Sato's leadership and his handling of the "black mist" Cabinet scandals that have tarnished the government's image. Sato told the delegates in his acceptance speech that he would "humbly accept the criticism" registered in the vote, then set about blowing away the black mist...
