...there were no signs of a white backlash, even though many broadcast and newspaper accounts of the power failure emphasized the disorders. Sample headline from the Los Angeles Times: CITY'S PRIDE IN ITSELF GOES DIM IN THE BLACKOUT. Newspapers abroad also focused on the looting. A headline from Tokyo's Mainichi Shimbun: PANIC GRIPS NEW YORK; from West Germany's Bild Zeitung: NEW YORK'S BLOODIEST NIGHT; from London's Daily Express: THE NAKED CITY...
...demarcation line, where U.S. troops draped the American flag over each and bore it away. While the receipts were being signed, a Russian-made sedan drew up and Schwanke, looking pale and worn but otherwise in good shape, stepped out. Later the official North Korean news agency, monitored in Tokyo, said Schwanke had made a public apology at the city of Kae-song, five miles north of Panmunjom, shortly before his release...
...TOKYO. The only airport in the world's largest capital (a second airport outside the city is still not in use). 20 million passengers last year. Averages 460 landings and takeoffs daily. Two runways, 39 airlines. Delays: average 20 min. Accessibility: the best part. Allow 30 to 40 min. for 13-mile ride downtown by easy-to-get cab ($10). Buses every 30 min. ($2.50). Monorail (92?) takes 15 min. to edge of town. Flow Through: agonizing. Jampacked terminal with baggage carts between pickup turntable and customs inspection. Porters on hand. Moving sidewalks; longest unassisted walk: 100 ft. Baggage...

For a year or so, punk has been flourishing in the seediest rock joints-a Bowery bar called CBGB's in New York, a dingy cavern called the Roxy in London, and The Rat in Boston. There, shock is chic. Musicians and listeners strut around in deliberately torn T shirts and jeans; ideally, the rips should be joined with safety...
Because native capital and technical know-how are scarce, Keating has been traveling from Tokyo to Houston persuading industrialists to invest in the thinly peopled (pop. 3 million) republic. On just one swing in April and May to Japan, Australia, Canada and the U.S., Keating brought back $150 million in new contracts from the U.S. alone. Through the offices of the Industrial Development Authority, the government agency charged with stimulating industrial expansion, Keating sets up lunch and dinner dates with corporate chiefs and ends up with his cowlick flying, making speeches in a lyric tenor. Even bored businessmen come...
