But as Ellis sees it, Washington's views were also "projections onto the national screen of the need for the same kind of controlling authority he had orchestrated within his own personality." The Father of His Country had first to prevail as master...
...three months ago, the DPJ was in turmoil. Its two most senior members, Naoto Kan and Ichiro Ozawa, had succumbed to a far-reaching pension scandal that forced them to resign their leadership posts. With only weeks to go before the election, the nation's largest opposition party seemed rudderless and lacking a message.
