...relevant at a time when communists in other countries have all but vanished. While the largest Japanese parties lack a clear and cohesive identity, the JCP may benefit by virtue of actually standing for something-even if what it stands for is "a socialist/communist society," as stated in its manifesto, in a decidedly capitalist country. "The JCP is a boutique party, but it's the only political party in Japan that has a strong grassroots organization," says Lam. "In a way, the communists are probably the most modern political party in Japan." Despite holding just 18 of the 722 seats...
...Still, not all of Yahoo's efforts fared as poorly as Semel's entertainment strategy. Its photo, email, travel and mobile offerings have proved popular and have been successful audience-builders.

Globalization can be a force for justice...
First, drivers might consciously take a moment to look in the immediate path of their cars. Syndrome sufferers often find it irresistible to talk on their cell phones, munch on a sandwich from Whole Foods, or read the Communist Manifesto while tearing up Broadway at 40 miles per hour. I beg of you—fight the urge, lest you end up sending the next Karl Marx to University Health Services. Yes, it may be expected that we walkers look both ways before we cross, but the maddening preponderance of one-way streets in this city has lulled us into...
