...even if the traditional Kiko is lionized, the country's plummeting birthrate shows that Japanese women--regardless of their princess preference--are increasingly choosing modern lives. So the big loser in all this could be the baby. As Japan continues to change while the dynasty stands still, the prince may find it surprisingly difficult to find a Japanese woman willing to become his princess...
...wonder Michael Bidwill is all smiles as he gives a personal tour of the red-carpeted locker room and the carefully manicured, natural-grass playing field. ("It's Tifway 419," he points out.)

As a result, the presence of the reservists on Olmert's doorstep is more than an eyesore. Protests by army reservists--practically every Israeli home has one--tend to gather momentum.
