...carefully orchestrated imperial progress, part state occasion, part tourist rubbernecking. For ten months, ever since President Ford formally extended a renewed invitation to the Emperor during his visit to Japan last year, U.S. and Japanese diplomats and security officials have worked over travel and protocol details that now pack a book two inches thick.
