...Even if they aren't punching the clock, however, many Japanese seniors find alternative ways to contribute. Salaryman Masamichi Hagiwara wasn't ready to become a "window-sitter" when he reached his company's mandatory retirement age of 57. "I was still able to work every day," says Hagiwara, who spent 30 years developing better feed for fish farming. So he enlisted with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which sent him for a two-year stint to teach fish farming in the mountains of Honduras. When that was finished, he re-upped for a tour in Malaysia and then...
Either SHERYL SWOOPES really loves to play basketball or the W.N.B.A. has lousy maternity leave. Six weeks after bringing forth a 7-lb. 9-oz. son, Jordan (named after Michael, natch), the Olympic gold medalist was patrolling the court, and getting past Phoenix Mercury's MIKIKO HAGIWARA for the Houston Comets.

Japanese seismologists were still mulling over the subsea earthquake which shook and wave-smashed their islands a fortnight ago. At Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute, Dr. Takahiro Hagiwara, one of Japan's leading seismologists, could not yet put his finger on the exact "epicenter," the place where the earth's crust had suddenly yielded, loosing the earthquake's force. He thought it lay somewhere off the east coast of Shikoku Island, where the sea is 10,000 feet deep. Careful soundings might eventually show that the sea bottom had moved a few yards. This would have...
