...talk with a transistor-radio salesman." Even more annoying to Aichi was Kawasaki's charge that in Japan "there is clearly an absence of leadership at the top, no realization of what is best in the national interest, a shortage of moral courage and discipline." Political parties got short shrift: they "have hardly made a positive contribution; their existence is largely parasitical." He was harsh on Japan's role in the world. "Postwar Japan is not likely to assume political leadership in Asia, let alone of the world. Racially, ideologically and militarily, the present-day Japan is simply...

In the past year, Soviet trade with Singapore has grown to nearly $40 million, and the Soviets apparently would like access to the British naval base for their own growing Pacific trading fleet when the Union Jack is hauled down in 1971. In two short years, the Soviets have become the largest purchasers of Malaysian rubber. As the flag follows trade, they have opened an embassy in Kuala Lumpur.

After five days of Senate hearings, Pastore renewed a standing appeal for rigid, centralized self-censorship. But this time he told the broadcasters...
...more surprised by its rapid rise than the quartet itself. Quartet members often make ends meet by teaching, solo appearances and freelancing. "We were prepared for a long, hard struggle," says Dalley. In fact, the Guarneri's financial worries have been so remarkably short-lived that they are reducing their outside teaching commitments. This year, the quartet will give about 100 concerts (at $1,200 each), compared with a mere dozen in 1965. Its recording work is also increasing, in anticipation of next year's Beethoven bicentennial; the Guarneri will by then have recorded...
