...very qualities we admire in Japan--its safety and solidarity and sense of long-term planning--are in some ways the result of such promptings as the leaves. For seasons release us from time and space, and usher us into an order higher than ourselves, or nation, or ideology; not so much a collective religion, perhaps, as a religion of collectivism.

My wife Lynne was found to have a malignant brain tumor in October 1994, when she was 35 years old. She followed the Simpson proceedings religiously as a diversion from her own death sentence. After learning of Lynne's case, Judge Ito offered her seats in the courtroom. On July 25, she accepted and spent the afternoon session in court as his guest.
