Though they will veil it with courtesy, the reason the Japanese have been so eager to get you here is that they regard you as an important part of their problem. They link your name to the "China shokku" of last July whose traumatic impact far exceeded the economic shocks that followed.

...wife Maja (Karen Ross) comes on like a little girl who wants to play house, but can find no playmate in her cynical husband. He has tried to buy and enjoy the ideal domesticity she embodies, but it is only life and cannot satisfy him. Like the Hindu veil of appearances which her name suggests. Maja swishes on and off stage, a shallow and fleeting part of Rubek's life...
