Premier Nobusuke Kishi (who some U.S. worrywarts once thought would prove anti-American) campaigned by urging closer ties with the U.S. The rival Socialists, looking for somewhere else to go, demanded abrogation of the U.S.-Japanese Security Pact and firm alliance with Red China and the Soviet Union.

A little bad advice, discreetly given, has halted or slowed many a career." ¶ "Have money. Birth, marriage or fraud are the three most suitable sources...
...output. Whereas rival U.S. manufacturers deride Japanese transistors as "cheap and dirty" (i.e., adequate for consumer equipment but not precise enough for high-grade military or industrial use), U.S. engineers rank good Japanese transistors on a par with good U.S. transistors-and they are considerably cheaper...
