She's international in outlook (though raised in Reading, England, in a middle-class family of working actors, she now lives in New York City and won those Oscar nominations for playing three Americans, two Brits and a German). She's ambitious but cheerfully self-deflating, capable of glamour but also expressive of a kind of jolting common sense.

This week's figures show that Japan's economy contracted last quarter at an annualized rate of nearly 13%, exports were down nearly 14%, and that more layoffs are on the books for Japan Inc. But economists and experts predict the ramifications of Nakagawa's resignation won't be economic, but political. In a recent poll, Aso's support rate was 9.7% and many say he is teetering on losing control of the Liberal Democratic Party. "[The economy isn't] going...
