...None of this has particularly deterred President Bush, and why would it when polls find that upward of 80 percent of Americans still believe the Administration's prewar claims on Iraqi WMD and one-third even believe WMD have actually been found in Iraq.

That's why he viewed this fashion foray as a perfect way to become better known in his own country, where Louis Vuitton is the godhead of the nation's real state religion: the worship of luxury brands. (Indeed, Japan accounts for one-third of the company's international sales). Mission accomplished: in Japan, Murakami is now magazine-cover, mobbed-in-public, rock-star famous?something that a million gallery shows could never have made...
