...tough bunch. Around 2 a.m. one recent night, a fight breaks out between three amejo and an American woman. A slap fest ensues before massive security guards in yellow T shirts toss the Japanese women out. The fight, of course, is over men. American men are thought to be kinder, more expressive and more romantic than Japanese men. "Really, I can't remember the last time I went out with a Japanese guy," says Yoko Taniguchi, 30, an accountant with newly braided cornrows and tight FUBU capris. She is dancing at a club called Slum. "American men--they make much...
...fight, of course, is over men. American men are thought to be kinder, more expressive and more romantic than their Japanese counterparts. "Really?I can't remember the last time I went out with a Japanese guy," says Yoko Taniguchi, an accountant on base. She's taking a break from the dance floor at the club Slum, where the tanned, pretty 30-year-old in newly braided cornrows and tight FUBU capris can't help but be swarmed by men.

Smaller newspapers, which are less critical of Kim's policies (and less influential), got off lightly in the tax inquiry. The opposition also says Kim wants a kinder, gentler media ahead of next year's presidential election. Kim cannot run again but he'll help pick his party's candidate. The President dismissed the charges last week, calling the tax probe "fair...
...That doesn't mean that nothing changed. Look at Redmond these days and you'll see a kinder, gentler Microsoft. Many of the players who earned Jackson's opprobrium are gone; even Gates has receded under the considerable shadow of CEO Steve Ballmer. Windows XP, due out this fall, is much more respectful of non-Microsoft software than its predecessors (they've made it very easy to choose Netscape as your default browser, for example). Dubious add-ons like the "smart tags" that linked words to websites chosen by Microsoft have been quietly ditched...
