...softpedaling of Japan's greatest military victory is grating to many conservatives, who don't see why the event should be conflated with less savory aspects of Japan's wartime past. "Britain is celebrating the bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar as a national event. That is what a normal country does," says opposition lawmaker Shingo Nishimura. "We still have a long way to go to become normal...
...competition of a three-legged race could be brutal--and having your bunk short-sheeted humiliating--but most adults remember sleepaway camp as a relatively carefree experience, a respite from school and siblings and a departure from the pressures of normal life. Kids who went to private overnight camps spent weeks in bucolic settings, discovering activities they enjoyed and gamely participating in those they didn't.

With this cancer, you get the full sushi...

This feeling struck me acutely during a yawn-inducing 10-hour drive from Montana to Colorado via Wyoming. Except in feeble, quivering bursts, normal radio signals can't conquer that barrenness, but thanks to some wonderful gizmo in outer space, I was able to stay in touch with the most minute developments in the Michael Jackson trial and the Brad Pitt--Jennifer Aniston breakup. I couldn't have been more clued in to those...
