Ever since the gold rush, do-it-yourself lawmen have aided the Bay Area's overtaxed gendarmerie by offering extra protection to merchants and homeowners. The 1899 city charter legitimized the freelancers and brought them under the official umbrella of the police department, but kept them in business. The "Specials" report to local precincts, wear regulation blue, carry guns and nightsticks. They follow all the rules imposed on regular cops and wield most of their powers-unlike other private security agents such as the Pinkertons, who have to call a policeman if they want to make an arrest...

Formed as an umbrella group running from the nationalist right to the non-Marxist left, the L.D.P. was vanguard and overseer of the dynamic industrial surge that made Japan's the world's third largest economy. While successive L.D.P. governments focused on development, Japan's growing social welfare problems became issues for the opposition. Since 1958, the L.D.P.'s vote has dropped from 57.8% to last week...
