...their 802nd try, researchers at Ono created Ono 802. In the first trial on pregnant volunteers, reports Dr. Shigeo Takagi of Tokyo's Nihon University School of Medicine, the drug within a week completely aborted 86% of his patients who had missed their period for twelve to 37 days. Bleeding usually began within six to eight hours after the drug was administered (in the form of three to five waxy, bullet-shaped white suppositories inserted one at a time into the vagina at three-hour intervals).

We selected the cream of the world's technology. We learned from America, Germany. Austria and the Soviet Union...
...fans who thronged daily into the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, the results were a severe blow. Japan won only one title-in the women's team competition-for its worst showing since 1952. To compound the ignominy, the Japanese saw their 1969 world singles champ, Shigeo Ito, upset in the men's final by Sweden's Stellan Bengtsson, 18.
