...Cultist. "We are the villains infesting our time of confusion," wrote one young gentleman of Japan recently, "and the weapon we use is our youthfulness." As the most talked-about youngster in modern Japan, 24-year-old Shintaro Ishihara has every right to act as spokesman for his generation. Not yet a year out of college, he is already known as a composer, painter, a movie star whose haircut and clothes are ardently aped by teen-agers from Tokyo to Nagasaki, and the most sensationally successful author in the nation, with four bestselling novels to his credit. Beyond all this...
...have jobs in sight. The U.S. occupation taught the Sun Tribers to scorn the way of their ancestors but did not replace it with a direction they could respect. From the Americans they took only the easy externals. Their uniform is as standard as that of a geisha: the "Shintaro" crew cut and aloha sports shirts for the men, with loose-flowing Byronic shirts, zoot coats and pointed suede shoes for city wear; toreador pants for the girls with hair cut like a mop and often dyed red; and over all, an attitude of abandonment and deep to-hell-with...
...high regard for Western journalistic methods is to a large extent the legacy of Kiyoshi Togasaki, a San Francisco-born newsman (University of California, '20) who ran the paper for 14 years until his retirement from active management last January. He was succeeded as president by Shintaro Fukushima, 49, a tough onetime diplomat. Fukushima is one of the West's staunchest supporters in Japan.

Last week FBI solved the mystery. Publisher Smyth, arrested with two cronies, pleaded guilty to charges that he got $125,000 from the Japs in four years, paid by Manhattan's Japanese Vice Consul Shintaro Fukushima. The down payment on June 21, 1938, was $15,000. Thereupon Living Age promptly denounced the Open Door as a perfidious British invention, sugared Jap aggression, pooh-poohed the U.S. stakes in the Far East ("so small that they would not pay the Federal tax on cigarets smoked by the nation in ten months"). The Japs guaranteed Living Age's deficit...
Then the kettle was on the fire. From Los Angeles rushed Shintaro Fukushima, Japanese vice consul and half a dozen Japanese businessmen. They asserted that of 125 Japanese families in Salt River Valley, 25 were U. S. citizens by birth, that they legally owned about 150 acres and leased 300 acres more, that all the others were laborers. Wentworth Gurney, British consul, followed and went into a conference with Daljitsingh Sadhari and Ralmat Ali Khan. Protests flashed East and West and overseas...
