...short term after succeeding stroke-felled Keizo Obuchi, Mori has been a spectacularly tone-deaf politician even for Japan's doddering ruling elite. This is a man who decided to finish his round of golf after being told of the Greeneville sub disaster - and no one was particularly surprised.

...fame so massive it was given its own name: Bradmania. It was the bane of his life and, with the stress it brought, the cause of much of his ill health. For a tired, introspective old man, reclusion was a sanity-saving last resort. It was also his final stroke of genius. There's enough sound and fury in the world, enough fading stars who won't leave us to our memories, so eventually spoiling them. Bradman remained Bradman...
