...Japan, Ken Hashimoto, another polygraph expert, discovered that his cactus could count and add up to 20. George De La Warr, a British engineer, insisted that young plants grew better if their "mother" were kept alive. Ironically, the authors did not address themselves to some significant facts about botany. Plants do respond physiologically to certain sound waves.

...opening topic, "Japan Today," Tadamasa Hashimoto appealed to the U.S. "to trust our country, look upon us as a friend, and trade with us."

Grim-faced as ever, he rasped: "I am angry from the bottom of my heart at the injustice and irrationality of the war-crimes trials. I feel strongly my responsibility for our defeat. I apologize deeply to the Japanese people...
