...Prime Minister is cast in a very different mold. The son of a wealthy lumber dealer, he served as a naval paymaster in The Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia) and Formosa (now Taiwan) during World War II. For a few years after the war he was so embittered that he insisted on always wearing a black tie, since "every Japanese should be in mourning." But in the early '60s, Nakasone was deeply impressed by the political style of the late Robert F Kennedy, from whom he picked up the very un-Japanese habit of shaking hands with everyone...

Clausen lost to 36-year-old State Assemblyman Douglas Bosco, who was a congressional page when Clausen arrived in Washington in 1963.

Hathaway has watched this Bryant Pond disappear along with Long's Lumber Yard, where they planed on all four sides, true and square, and a cannery where a boy could pick up a damaged tin of creamed corn for a free lunch on his way to a day of fishing. After so much loss, why should a crank-telephone switchboard in the back room of his home lay claim to immortality...
