And so, the Japan Fisheries Association is encouraging a whale consumption program and backing a Tokyo-based firm Geishoku Labo and the "Asian Lunch" trucks it sends to Tokyo's business districts.

It is true that Ringo is enraptured by a younger woman, but he's not trying to roll back the years to please...
...autonomy. It is well respected in the larger general evangelical world for taking on one of its most necessary tasks: making sure that the thousands of teenagers and twentysomethings flooding into developing nations to do missionary work have at least some grounding before they depart. Notes Moreau, YWAM is "lean, it's nimble, creative, and there's very little hierarchical control." It has dealt with tragedy before.
