...BEARD. Japan's Akira Kurosawa is one of the world's greatest film makers, and in this deceptively simple story about the spiritual growth of a young doctor, he has made one of his greatest films. Kurosawa's canvas is the whole range of human experience. His techniques are impeccable, and his actors-especially the justly famed Toshiro Mifune-are among the most accomplished ever to appear on screen...
False Security. Even at a lower level of command, where operational difficulties are more apparent, Bucher received little help or guidance. Rear Admiral Frank L. Johnson, commander of U.S. Naval Forces, Japan, was made fully aware of Pueblo's limitations by Bucher. Yet he did nothing to upgrade the ship. Indeed, Bucher testified that Johnson had assured him that his guns would never be needed, and in fact advised the skipper not to show "any aggressive intent" if harassed by North Korean or Soviet vessels. This attitude seemed to lull Bucher into a false sense of security, which...
...Sake of Japan. Still in Rome in 1966, he served as a sightseeing guide for a visiting Japanese industrialist, Kageki Minami, president of the Osaka Shipbuilding Co.

Splurge. The agreement came in "letters of intent" from the Japan Iron & Steel Exporters' Association and the six-nation European Coal and Steel Community. In addition, Secretary of State Dean Rusk said that other leading steel producers, presumably Britain and Canada, are expected to hold down their exports. As a result, Rusk added, U.S. steel imports-which soared to 17.5 million tons in 1968-will be limited to 14 million tons this year, 14.7 million in 1970 and 15.4 million...
...Francisco school, Gary Snyder writes primarily from his modern Western background and the influences of his journey to the Far East. This new collection contains four sections: those poems written before 1956, when he was working as a logger and forest ranger; those composed between 1956 and 1964 in Japan, where he studied Zen; those influenced by his visit to India; and those completed on his return to the U.S. In all, the mark is of the imagist poet concentrating on the pure intensity of the picture...
