...spanking new Wenner-Gren monorail, costing $55 million, will soon whisk tourists from Haneda Airport to downtown Tokyo, while the world's fastest railroad, the 125-m.p.h. Hikari Express (TIME, Sept. 4), runs via artful Kyoto to bustling Osaka in four hours-almost half the time it took before...
Superhighways worth $470 million had to be built over 58 miles of Tokyo to cut the traveling time along vital arteries to Haneda airport and the outlying Olympic sites. Bedrooms had to be built for part of the expected 30,000 visitors; dormitories had to be prepared for 7,000 athletes to sleep in, a pool for them to swim in, arenas for them to wrestle in, ranges for them to shoot on.

Lure of Wheels. But at least 90% of the halls, arenas and playing fields are ready for the athletes and the crowds.

Next day, calling upon Minister of Justice Koshiro Ueki, Kennedy commented on the "fair" way in which Japanese judges...
Communist delegations, however, have a talent for invincible insensitivity. Arriving at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, Delegate Liu announced that he brought Red China's"hearty congratulations to the Japanese people for preventing the Eisenhower war-planning visit and overthrowing the Kishi Cabinet." And at the anti-bomb conference, Liu and Japan's Red-lining Chairman Kaoru Yasui congratulated each other on "a series of victories over American imperialism" in a manner so heavy-handed that participating organizations ranging from the Japan Federation of Youth to the Federation of Housewives threatened to withdraw from the conference unless...
