...Getting that sort of rise out of the market?or from Japanese consumers?today would take a little magic. What's certain is that Koizumi cannot depend on the smoke and mirrors favored by his predecessors. For most of the past decade, Japan has stuck like rust to its failed formula for growth, shoveling public funds into ludicrous projects like unneeded dams and highways to nowhere. Not only did the government tap tax revenues for these projects, but also pensions and the $10 trillion in personal savings kept in accounts at the post office. Japanese have had enough of that...
...good thing. (I was different when younger, and not a daddy.) The Spinners mount a comeback in the second, and Caroline and I high-five each other and cheer on the home team. I glance out beyond the centerfield fence and see the old Aiken Street Bridge, painted a rust-colored orange and standing out amidst the leafy trees. It looks even more evocative of this mechanics' town than the painting of it on the cover of my dog-eared copy of Kerouac's Dr. Sax. "Dad wasn't kidding," I say to Kevin.

Obara continued to frequent the house up until his arrest, letting it slide, like some Dorian Gray portrait of Japan's national psyche, into a state of advanced decay, with rust flaking off the exterior ironwork and bricks crumbling from the walls. A Maserati, a Bentley and an early 1960s Aston Martin are parked in the yard. The cars have flat tires. There is trash everywhere. Keeping watch by a side door is a life-size statue of a German shepherd...
Both teams may suffer from a little bit of rust. Harvard has not played since Apr. 25, when it defeated Dartmouth4-3 in Hanover...
