...citizens who respond to leaflets pointing out that "for 10 francs-the price of a cinema ticket-ten Chilean children can be given an hour's French lesson." Some of the Alliance's more illustrious alumni are Teddy Kennedy, Pope Paul VI and Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato...
...scholarly, soft-spoken former economics professor, is pinning his hopes for re-election on the slogan: "Give Tokyo back its blue sky!" His opponent for the governorship (the equivalent of a U.S. mayoralty) is former Police Chief Akira Hatano, 59, a first-time campaigner, hand-picked by Premier Eisaku Sato and his Liberal Democratic Party. Hatano joined the fray with a promise from Sato that if he wins, the federal government will put up 4 trillion yen ($11 billion) to make Tokyo livable again...

...proposed treaty covering the reversion of Okinawa to Japan. The Japanese expected an executive agreement, which would not require any Senate action. Now reversion-like any treaty-will require a two-thirds majority of the Senate, and there are enough textile-state Senators to make passage difficult unless the Sato government makes a binding bilateral agreement to cut down on textile shipments to the U.S. "We are not trying to sandbag the Japanese with this," a White House staffer insists. Perhaps Nixon is only trying to sandbag Mills, but he may hit Sato as well. That could be dangerous...
