...under and Japan offers no support for the unemployed," frets Minoru Morita, a prominent political analyst. Already, LDP politicians and Tokyo bankers are circulating a list of 51 companies presumed likely to meet with peril under the plan?including retailer Mitsukoshi, video gamemaker Sega and trading outfit Nissho Iwai, plus a slew of construction, heavy machinery and real estate companies.

...natural-gas exploration project off the southern coast of Trinidad. Lacking the postcard beaches that draw tourists to neighboring islands, Trinidad depends mostly on oil and industry. The Trintomar venture stumbled over a series of drilling mishaps and in 1992 was in danger of defaulting on a loan to Nissho Iwai, a Japanese company that had financed the project.

Sasebo, which earned $1,030,000 on sales of $30 million in 1961, is now Japan's leading builder of ships for export...
...pipeline" to import oil from the Middle East. His blushing daughter Junko will swing the champagne bottle, but since the huge ship is too bulky to slide down the ways, water will be let into its massive drydock until it is afloat. The new tanker's name is Nissho Maru, which means "Rising Sun," and at the launching there will be banzais all around...
