...organization men: it is not in their job description to stand out. But Yasuo Fukuda was not only colorless but headed a particularly lackluster administration. In the last few weeks, his critics have described him as "dead man walking" and "a lame duck." On Monday, he told them they wouldn't have him to kick around anymore and tendered his resignation...
