Identical Pin-Stripes. In the final tally, Hatoyama got more votes (149,541) than any Japanese Diet candidate in history. The transfer of power from the Liberals of ex-Premier Shigeru Yoshida to Hato-yama's Democrats was in great part a result of Hatoyama's personal popularity, his canny exploitation of Japan's disillusionment with his highhanded and distant predecessor, Yoshida.

...have over-reached themselves in the girdle episode, which, besides being irrelevant, is largely unfunny. But on the whole, Cadillac's material stays admirably cohesive. The authors may be using a shotgun instead of a rifle, but their target is the large one of sustained humor rather than the pin-point of specific ridicule. And the laughs are constant all evening...
