After Foreign Minister Kiichi Aichi scanned the book, he erupted. Among other things, Kawasaki had quoted a remark generally attributed to General Charles de Gaulle: just before a formal chat in 1964 with the late Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda, he confided that "today I am going to have a little talk with a transistor-radio salesman."

Every Sunday at 9 a.m., tots around the country gather before the TV to watch "Zero Fighter Hayato" knock a dozen American P-38s or Wildcats from the skies. Plastic-model Zero fighters and picture books are bestsellers from Hokkaido to Kyushu, while adults are now reading a book called Glorious Records, which praises the wartime Burma-Siam railway project that built the bridge over the River Kwai. A new series of junior high school history...
