The zaibatsu-the handful of family trusts that owned Japan's commerce, banking and industry-have been gradually returning since the U.S. realized that breaking them up had left Japan without foundation for its postwar economy.

They like to be petted, says Breland, but their enjoyment is merely physical. They will do nothing for praise. Most other animals are equally selfish; the dog is about the only one that takes...
