...unsigned statement issued Thursday, Japan expressed a feeling of "acute responsibility" and "deep remorse" for its "invasion" of China and the hardship inflicted on the Chinese people. Although this document represents the first time that Japan has referred to its past military action as an invasion, it specifically did not use the word apology--which, according to The New York Times, many Japanese feel is "more serious" than the word for remorse...
...doubt that Ken Starr's daylong appearance before the House Judiciary Committee would not be an edifying experience for the nation, Michael Moore's presence in the room erased it.

The independent counsel, who answered well in excess of 81 questions before the committee last Thursday, got a few more from ABC's Diane Sawyer in an interview to be screened Wednesday night. What does he really think of Clinton? "Extraordinarily talented," said Starr. "Wonderfully empathetic... he inspires just tremendous affection and loyalty." All of which earns the prosecutor top marks for magnanimity -- although it's probably a good thing that he wasn't under oath at the time...
