According to the National Police Agency, suicides in Japan in 1996 totaled about 23,000, more than double the number of traffic fatalities. Meanwhile, the reluctance to admit there are indeed problems has seeped onto the economic bargaining table in the most recent round of American-Japanese talks surrounding the falling yen. The New York Times reported that the two nations' leaders have two different conceptions of what change is necessary for financial problem solving...
