...green tin hat, with "TIME-LIFE" in white letters on front, proved to be a passport. In their polite Japanese way, police and demonstrators alike stopped to clear a path for him as he crossed back and forth through the embattled lines. From a rooftop vantage point in Premier Kishi's compound, which was conveniently across the street from the Diet, Campbell had a bird's-eye view of the major fighting-when not ducking flying rocks and spurting fire hoses. Working near by in a sector where empty soda bottles were the demonstrators' weapons, Correspondent Iwama...

With 8,000 police looking on, they stopped a bus bearing 20 of Kishi's Liberal Democrats, poked sticks through the windows, dragged out three of the legislators and roughed them up. Some 4,000 students laid siege to Pre mier Kishi's suburban home to prevent his leaving to keep an appointment with Jim Hagerty - an appointment Kishi denied having...
...Hagerty flew off to Alaska to meet Eisenhower (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), he left behind him an exultant anti-Kishi coalition, which seemed confident that it had the government on the run.
