As a prelude to Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone's visit to Washington this week, Special Envoy Shintaro Abe was dispatched to the White House to outline a plan to reduce Japan's $59 billion trade surplus with the U.S. Meanwhile, a U.S. delegation in Tokyo urged the Japanese to lower barriers to American goods...

Sofaer refuses to get caught in a law-vs.-policy dogfight. He cites Lyricist Sammy Cahn's dictum that it is impossible...
