Tastes change; each era meets the classics on new ground. At the approach of the 18th century, John Dryden offered Virgil as a master of the heroic couplet: "Arms, and the man I sing, who, forced by Fate,/ And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate." During the Victorian era, Aeneas emerged in the English of William Morris and other writers as a Romantic brooder well versed in Wordsworth's Ode to Duty. Fitzgerald's version, a century hence, may seem equally dated. But if translations capture the essence of their culture, then this Aeneid, in its supple beauty...
...began reading up, and with periodic trips to his doctor in Idaho Falls, who helps him with Latin pronunciations, Lempke can now roll off the names with ease. He often prefaces a sermon at the local filling station on this or that May fly with the words, "Well, I hate to say this, but I don't believe those were Baetis propinquas." Or Ephemerella infrequens. Or Epeorus albertae. But Lempke reserves his finest pronunciation and greatest admiration for Ephemerella grandis, a.k.a. the green drake.

This sets off a yearning for the old dependency on Mother and a search for unity with others that Psychiatrist Takeo Doi of Tokyo considers a critical factor in the formation of Japanese adult character...
...pick up the story for weeks. Moreover, supposedly competing journals band together in a peculiarly Japanese institution, the "press clubs." At major sources of news (government ministries, political party headquarters, the 47 police prefectures), correspondents from daily newspapers control the flow of information. Though most politicians profess to hate the press, they comply with club rules. Generally, only a member may ask questions at press conferences; in some cases, only members may attend. Membership is denied to magazine reporters and foreigners...
