...week's end, in any case, all thought of negotiation was blown away by a volley of I.R.A. bombs. First a freight train was blown up near Lurgan, 20 miles southwest of Belfast. Then a bomb went off in a Belfast bus station, killing at least four civilians and two British soldiers. Soon, in what was obviously a carefully planned operation, explosions were going off throughout the city. Among the targets: three bus terminals, a railway station, a garage, two highway bridges...
...LIKE A DREAM to be in Tokyo," the grandmother remarks upon arrival. "I never realized it was so close." These words imply how Ozu illustrates that "the Japanese family system has began to come apart." Tempo, life-style, mood and environment are so different in Tokyo, that the short train trip from their home creates an unsurmountable gap for the old people between their customs and the modern ways of their children. The old man looks very uncomfortable and slightly ridiculous in his Western-style travelling suit, and immediately changes into his kimono upon entering his son's house...

Living Letters, he called them. But even the very firm he directed, Moody Press, declined to publish his paraphrases. So Taylor decided to publish them privately. A printer friend ran off 2,000 copies on credit, and Taylor took some of them to the 1962 Christian Booksellers Convention...
...politicians to recognize the country's environmental problems. He is on record with a proposal to disperse Japan's highly concentrated industries and redistribute the population among new villages and towns. Each would be surrounded by green belts and linked by 5,400 miles of new bullet-train railway lines and 6,000 miles of superexpressways...
