The goats could become part of the firefighters' arsenal, as important as trucks, hoses and protective gear.

"I have committed to putting money from that auction into programs to ... cushion the economic impact on working and poor families," she said. And then she added scornfully, "So if you want...

Kyotaro says the key to success as a host is "how much time you can spend as a host outside of the club, which is the real working field. The club is just the place to see the result of your effort...
