...heyday, Tokyo's Imperial Hotel was the city's most famous landmark after the imperial Palace. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1916 and 1921 in a style that combined the most extravagant features of Mayan and Oriental architecture, the yellow-brick stone-trimmed structure played host to visiting celebrities from Babe Ruth, Will Rogers and Albert Einstein to honeymooning Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio. But even to its fans, the Imperial has always had its idiosyncrasies. Every one of its 230 guest rooms is different, an efficiency expert's nightmare, and Wright was apparently so struck...

Nobody in Chicago last week was about to disagree...
There are signs that the tide may be turning now, thanks in part to a $103.5 million government loan fund for modernization and $600 million in easy credit for British shipowners to buy British. Lloyd's Register of Shipping reported last week that as of Sept. 30, some 1,300,000 tons, representing 10% of world total, were under construction in British yards v. Japan's 4,200,000 tons, or 31.6%. While that is still a rather wide gap, Sir John Hunter, 55, head of the Swan Hunter Group of shipbuilders on the Tyne, says...
