...last week granted Japan the right to do what no U.S. airline may do: fly around the world through New York City, the No. 1 source of lucrative, long-distance air traffic. A civil air agreement, signed in Tokyo by American Ambassador Edwin O. Reischauer and Japanese Foreign Minister Etsusa-buro Shiina, will allow Japan Air Lines to extend its existing transpacific service from San Francisco to New York and beyond. JAL announced plans to begin twice-weekly flights from Tokyo to New York and London next fall, hooking up with its existing London-Calcutta-Tokyo route...
...Change of Posture. Key molder of Japan's antiwar "moodo" has been the Tokyo daily press, which has consistently criticized American actions in Viet Nam while buying Hanoi's propaganda line at face value. Until recently, U.S. Ambassador Edwin Reischauer responded with a "low posture," mildly stressing patience and asking Japanese to try to understand the American position.

...drove myself to serve my country," U.S. Ambassador to Japan Edwin Reischauer, 59, bravely confessed. Fearlessly treading earthquake-shaken villages as a gesture of good will? Not exactly. As he recuperated this spring in Honolulu from stab wounds inflicted by a deranged Japanese youth, Reischauer, who is wise in the ways of the Orient, worried about the loss of face his Japanese hosts would suffer if he returned still looking wan and pallid from the ordeal. So day after day, he manfully stretched out on the beach at Waikiki, acquiring a glowing tan for the worried Japanese, who exhaled gustily...
