...likes to have his boss looking over his shoulder. But Shigeki Ishizuka, head of Sony's digital-camera division, says he is unfazed whenever Shizuo Takashino--Sony's executive deputy president and one of the legendary team that created the Walkman--drops by.

With him on the way to Japan were 105 other war criminals, the last of the Japanese invaders to leave the Philippines. They too were a far different-looking lot from the domineering Japanese soldiers who once lorded over and terrorized the Filipino populace, and left behind 91,180 noncombatant Filipino dead.
