Bright & Happy. The trouble with any plans for Japan's economic future was that most of the area with which she needs to trade was either held or threatened by the Communists. The Communists saw the dilemma. Japan's Communist boss, plump little Sanzo Nozaka, good friend of China's Mao Tsetung, found that Marxism has little ideological appeal for his countrymen; but when he promised them more food, more work, more trade, he found that even Japanese businessmen would listen. Last week, viewing Mao Tsetung's victories in China, Comrade Nozaka was the cheeriest fellow...

Japan must trade with the rest of Asia to survive, and all the rest of Asia is rapidly going Communist. Trust us ... We will reconstruct Japan and make it bright and happy...

A story fortunate enough to be picked as a Crime Club semimonthly selection may sell about 10,000 copies, while Gardner's trade-edition average over the past five years has been 24,000. But position with whodunit fans is only half the story. Author Gardner is not only the most popular practitioner, he is also...
