...possible to argue against the war at the time. One was either "with us or against us." Intelligent discussion was pre-empted. So the issue is not about journalism and the courage to express different opinions but about self-censorship and the crushing of unpopular opinions. Philippe Chaniet Narita, Japan...
...Although Nobu Matsuhisa operates restaurants in 13 cities around the world, this is the first to open in Asia outside of Japan. Patrons of the Hong Kong Nobu can expect the signature dishes that have made their creator famous-yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, broiled black cod with miso-as well as those devised to suit local ingredients. If this isn't sensory stimulation enough, floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of the Hong Kong island skyline and Victoria Harbour-a body of water that has partially inspired the interior design.

...correct, this year will be the fourth in a row with an economic expansion rate above or close to 5%, the best performance since the early 1970s.

But he also points out that, until the early 1990s, Japan was a vital source of global growth that virtually disappeared during the country's prolonged economic slump. "It turned out to be no big deal because the world adapted," Rogoff says. "If U.S. growth falls to 1% and stays there for three years, it would be painful at first...
