...this version of Family Affair unfolding in Bangladesh or the Philippines? Think again. It's Japan, long held up as the paragon of a mature Asian democracy, yet which continues to serve up political leaders distinguishable only by subtleties of grey in their ideological coloration. Yasuo Fukuda, the leading candidate to replace Shinzo Abe as Japan's next PM, and Fukuda's rival, Taro Aso, appear to be trying to differentiate themselves as the Sept. 23 Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) election approaches.

...craggy flanks of Tonelagee Mountain, the haze lifted momentarily to expose a breathtaking spectrum of color and texture: tracts of lavender heather, russet and burnt-gold rushes, somber rock, downy moss, a thousand shades, of green rushing streams, fern-limned pools, and glistening earth and slag. The slate-grey sky rendered every other hue all the more dramatic. This close to the earth and the sky, this deep and this far within the terrain, there was nothing between me and the poetry of the place...
