...More realistically, Hirohito reminds questioners these days that even in his prewar era of official divinity, he was a monarch hemmed in by a constitution, not to mention the military leaders who came to power in Japan after 1931. Even so, writes Author Frank Gibney in The Fragile Super Power (TIME, April 21), "He served as a symbol of militarism for two generations.

Unfortunately, the extra-slow pace of August price boosts is no more likely to continue than was the earlier super-rapid rate; both were distorted by the erratic timing of food-price movements. Nonfood portions of the CPI are still rising at an annual rate of 6% to 7%, indicating that the underlying rate of inflation has not changed much.

The people who run the Superdome probably don't know about the world's largest supermarket--they must assume that if the Chamber of Commerce isn't plugging it, it doesn't exist--but there it is, and no one can think of a supermarket that's any bigger. There are no tour guides there, probably because, unlike...
