"As an overprivileged adult, I'd like to help underprivileged children," he announced. Last week he was midway on a six-week tour that will swing through seven nations. First stop was Japan, where his three concerts drew members of the imperial family, U.S. Ambassador Reischauer, and scrambling crowds. Proceeds of his week's work were $28,000, which he gave to Tokyo, asking that it be used to help 60 orphanages for Eurasian...
