...Lachenbruch, editorial director of TV Digest: "Consumers are not prepared to pay twice as much for one set with two pictures. They would rather buy two sets with one picture each." That could change quickly, of course, as the cost of the electronic components falls. "In the future," says Shinichi Makino, an executive at Toshiba, "digital will be mainstream...
...couple, who identified themselves as Japanese Tourist Shinichi Hachiya and his daughter Mayumi, were about to leave Bahrain for Rome when immigration officials, accompanied by a Japanese diplomat, stopped them. A South Korean request for Tokyo to check travel documents had revealed that the woman held a fake passport. She would have to return to Japan. Asked if he wanted to proceed to Rome, her companion said, "It is useless to travel alone." As a guard watched over them in the Bahrain airport, the woman took out a pack of Marlboros.

Meanwhile, reporters discovered another Shinichi Hachiya living in Tokyo. He claims that a friend of Korean extraction had helped him apply for his passport four years ago and had kept it for a while, long enough to forge a copy.

After a couple of months, they are given empty, miniature violin cases and chopsticks for bows...
Virtually waist deep in a field of 1,100 child violinists, cellists and pianists who were all taught by his learning-through-imitation method, Shinichi Suzuki waved his bow. Thousands of fingers tensed, and the second annual Chicagoland Suzuki Music Festival began on a note by Veracini (his Sonata in E Minor). Though hundreds of thousands of students have been taught by the Suzuki method since he introduced it more than three decades ago (including Rosalynn and Amy Carter, who took joint lessons in the White House), the 83-year-old master modestly professes to not playing as well...
