...M.M.M.A. CEO Tsuneo Ohinouye admitted last week that his company had been slow or otherwise off base in its response to the EEOC allegations but claimed that there were "a number of misunderstandings" in those charges. He expressed a willingness to start negotiations to settle the matter, while stressing his belief that Mitsubishi had not been "particularly insensitive in responding to claims of sexual-harassment activities when compared to other companies in the business." Neither the EEOC nor lawyers for the women plaintiffs in the civil suit have heard directly from the company...
...build a satellite city for retired Japanese expatriates on Australia's east coast seems to have been shelved.

With that, and with loans from American banks (Japanese banks then saw no future in leasing), he opened Orient Leasing Co. in Japan. The dry-witted Inui proved such an apt seito (pupil) that last year Orient became the biggest leasing company...
...Okinawans who had come to Tokyo to hold their own restrained protest - and who felt that their interests were what was at stake - the day was sobering. "I'm afraid the student violence will end up dampening the movement for us," said 20-year-old Tsuneo Tomita of Koza. "It will confuse the basic issue...
