...leaders of the free world's seven strongest industrial nations were in the process of donning formal dress for a state dinner with Emperor Hirohito of Japan when aides brought the news that all of them had awaited with dread. On the other side of the globe in Geneva, the OPEC ministers had once again jacked up the world price of oil, and the bite was fully as bad as gloomy prophets had predicted?and perhaps worse.

...Jimmy Carter took the occasion to combine it with a state visit to Japan. For three days, while diplomats maneuvered in the back rooms, the President patiently went through the ceremonial rituals of such a visit?reviewing troops under a broiling Tokyo sun; chatting amiably with Marine Biologist Hirohito about scuba diving; attending a Kabuki play; lunching with 125 top celebrities of Japan, including Home Run King Sadaharu Oh, at the Imperial Palace.
