...cult indoctrination is in fact a "training session" for employees of Japanese companies. They were at Ise last month at the behest of their employers to learn team spirit, feel team achievement and, in so doing, perhaps become better, more productive workers. Says Ise Training Center Director Yasuo Nakayama: "We want them to suffer. We want them to feel pain. But we also want them to enjoy, to sing and dance. We want them to empty out their old selves and become new people...
...most folk foods, started out as an ad hoc combination of ingredients. For the range-riding cooks who invented it, chili consisted of scrawny beef-whose dubious flavor was masked by peppers and spices -and whatever else was around. In any case, it makes a nourishing dish. Roy M. Nakayama, 53, a New Mexico State University horticulturist who has studied peppers for 20 years and eats them three times a day, points out, "Chilis are rich in vitamins A and C. As antioxidants they also help preserve the meat and break down the fibers." Chili buffs claim the peppers...
Though filling stations are closed on Sunday, as they are in most of Europe, expressways are as clogged with drivers as usual. On a recent Sunday, 10,000 cars ferried Tokyo's sporting set to the biggest turnout ever at the Nakayama Racecourse. The betting set a record of $44.3 million.

That same day, 300,000 shoppers crowded the Mitsukoshi Honten, Tokyo's largest department store, to snatch up a record $8,900,000 worth...
...carotid body, Dr. Nakayama's research indicated, is not only a junction point for many nerves (see diagram), but, by its responses to minute changes in the composition of the blood, it does much to regulate breathing. Most notably, an increase in the blood's carbon dioxide content sets off a carotid body reaction that can bring on a choking attack of asthma by causing fast, shallow breathing in lungs unable to handle the added load. To suppress these excessive reactions, Dr. Nakayama wondered, why not cut out one or both carotid bodies? After tests on animals...
Instant Benefit. Dr. Overholt has done the Nakayama operation on 160 patients since May of 1958. Only in three cases has he felt it necessary to remove both carotid bodies. That the glomus is a respiratory control center is suggested by the fact that some patients feel relief the instant.the body is removed, or even earlier, when it is inactivated by an injection of procaine (Novocain). More than 75% of all patients get some relief, reports Dr. Overholt; and in 50% or more, the relief is significant and sometimes dramatic. All his patients have been asthmatics for whom no other...
