...trouble attracting reporting talent: some 2,000 university graduates competed this spring for 38 jobs by taking Yomiuri's test. It includes history, civics and foreign languages (reporters must be fluent in at least one), and poses such journalistic problems as devising a story to fit a photograph. Jobs last until retirement; it is all but unthinkable for a Japanese reporter to shift to public relations. The glamorous style of travel helps compensate Yomiuri reporters for a modest salary (the average: $24,500). One aspect of working life that would displease most Western reporters: Yomiuri gives almost no bylines...
...Park Avenue estate by an armed bodyguard placed there for protection against a vindictive ex-wife. The host led the several of us on a tour of his urban Shangri-La, which included original chefs d'oeuvre and a movie theater. He caressed his showcase items, among them a photograph of a Chicago building he owned, as he lovingly recounted the steps leading to their acquisition, and their costs.

In your jacket you carried a photograph of the soldier that had been you, a keepsake of the afternoon you sank your boots firmly in the sand that slopes into the Mediterranean that lies beside Beirut. In the photograph you looked older than the cliché-older than the hills. You would fetch the picture from your...
Padilla, 59, was born poor, but now earns enough from his security firm to afford the good life: two Cadillacs, $300,000 house, swimming pool, outdoor barbecue, Scotch and sizzling T-bones on the patio. He is a Republican: he shows a photograph of his wife with Wayne Newton at President Reagan's Inauguration...
