...Peking summit comes at a time when Tanaka's Japan is already riding a kind of diplomatic crest. Though the Nixon economic and diplomatic shokkus of last summer are still fresh in Japanese memories, Tanaka managed to come away from his summit with the President in Honolulu last month with what looked like U.S. approval and support. Moscow has been actively courting Tokyo, and is pressing to begin work on a long-delayed peace treaty.

You should have seen that little boy dash into the ocean. He'd run like he was trying to commit suicide." That early drive may well have been imparted by his father, who admits to being a "forceful individual." His pragmatic creed, repeated often to Mark: "Swimming isn't everything. Winning...
