Similar doubts dog Kodak's most promising digital adventure--medical imaging, a process that extends from the nonfilm capture of X-ray images to their dispersal through a hospital network and their digital manipulation to produce detailed images. Kodak sells digital radiology machines and software that manages the diagnostic and other information that accompanies each image. It even posts the bill. Not ready to go fully digital? No problem: Kodak will sell you bridging devices--like laser printers to transfer the picture to film. The company also provides consulting services, putting KOS into operation to make patient care more efficient...
...Brien, all of them Americans. Indeed, Murakami's fondness for U.S. pop-cultural references has moved local critics to complain that he worships the West at the expense of things Japanese. Guilty, with an explanation. As Kafka demonstrates, Murakami's Japan is a land of truck stops, rock music, Ray-Bans, Hollywood movies and workouts at the gym. But for his youngish, hip, history-oblivious fans, this is Japan. More than previous Murakami novels, Kafka embraces nearly the entire Western canon, with learned digressions on Beethoven, Schubert, Chekhov, T.S. Eliot and a pantheon of ancient Greeks.

...later she was another housekeeper in the Ross Hunter production Portrait in Black, this time supporting Anthony Quinn, who had done small roles in her late-30s Paramount films. Now he was the famous name and she the filler. (Also in 1960, Quinn starred as an Inuit in Nicholas Ray's The Savage Innocents - opposite another actress, Marie Yang, who in this film was billed as Anna May Wong! It may be the only instance of an actor appearing with two actresses of the same name in the same year...

But for his youngish, hip, history-oblivious fans, this is Japan. More than previous Murakami novels, Kafka embraces nearly the entire Western canon, with learned digressions on Beethoven, Schubert, Chekhov, T.S. Eliot and pantheons of ancient Greeks. It's an education in a box, much like the small but mysteriously well-stocked Takamatsu library where Murakami's young Oedipus finds a job as live-in caretaker...
