When Haruo Takano, a Tokyo sixth-grader, comes home in the middle of the afternoon after a full day at school, he has a quick snack and takes a nap for an hour or so. Then promptly at 5, he packs up his books again and heads off to a second school, where he studies until 9.

He has scheduled a benefit concert of ten major acts (including the Jefferson Starship, Joan Baez and Santana) in the city's 59,626-seat Kezar Stadium. The concert, on March 23, is called SNACK, Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks; the audience will pay a $5 admission to boogie down from midmorning to dusk. In addition, Graham will sell special SNACK T shirts for $4 each, and all proceeds, after expenses, will go to the schools...
