...ve thought about publishing more texts, because ultimately I think I write better than I make films. I don't think it's completely far-fetched to say that Conquest of the Useless, the prose book, will outlive the film. Writing is very dear to my heart, and it may come more strongly in the future...

The chief of the U.S. naval forces, Admiral Gary Roughhead, meeting with Japanese counterparts in Tokyo Saturday morning, blandly observed that American and allied ships in the region were simply "tracking the missiles" and "observing the activities that are going...
