...growth toppled fathers from that lofty post by imposing longer work hours that kept them from home. At the same time, modern appliances freed women from household drudgery. "Housewives can pursue their interests in a carefree manner, while men have to worry about supporting their wives and children," says Makiko Katagiri, 32, a college-educated housewife who plays volleyball once a week and runs the PTA at her children's nursery school...
...Schenk of The Netherlands. A college student from the central Russian city of Gorky, Averina, 25, holds the world records in the 500, 1,000 and 1,500-meter events. Other medal possibilities at Innsbruck: Teammates Lubov Sadchikova and Galina Stepanskaya, American Sheila Young and Japan's Makiko Nagaya. Averina has no equivalent among the men, but Soviets hold four of five world marks. Impressive, but somewhat deceptive. The records were all set at high altitude, in Alma-Ata, near the Chinese border. That might mean that American Peter Mueller, Holland's Hans van Helden or two Norwegians...
Poor Butterfly. No less than Japan's Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka is accused by his own daughter Makiko, 29, of knocking her about. Remembering life with Father as a very happy one, Makiko nonetheless goes on to count her bruises in the weekly magazine, Yomiuri. When she wanted to go to a U.S. high school, her father belted her.

The Premier holds one or two press conferences a week and sees scores of visitors every day, groaning all the while that the Japanese "must learn the art of coming to the point as fast as possible." Other Premiers have been stiff and unapproachable; Tanaka rattles on to all comers about his favorite movie stars (Gary Cooper, Deborah Kerr), his golf game (he has an 18 handicap), or his impatient manner ("I think...
...Tanaka tells it, he is "a born peasant." It is true, as his daughter Makiko insists, that stray dogs are the only other creatures up and about in Tokyo's fashionable Mejiro neighborhood each day at 5:30 when Tanaka arises. Still, there is nothing humble about his house: a 24-room mansion surrounded by gardens and the putting green on which Tanaka tries to improve his 18-handicap golf. No other politician in Tokyo has anything to compare with Tanaka's spread, but he protests that he needs the space. "A politician," he says, "is like...
