...actually live together under one roof. In such close quarters, there are no secrets. When Martin finds that he is impotent, for example, the rest of Artifat finds out too.

His bride's three ceremonial kimonos alone cost $370,000. One minor craze in the current Nipponese nuptial season is the extravagant "performance" wedding. At one service, the star-struck couple ascended to the ceiling in a makeshift space capsule trailing dry-ice exhaust...
