Running a large corporation in the hard-driving Japanese economy has always been a tough job, but these days it may be a fatal one as well. The chief executives of at least twelve major companies, including Seiko Epson, Kawasaki Steel and All Nippon Airways, have all died suddenly this year.

The apparent destination was Pakistan, which has repeatedly denied charges that its nuclear facility at Kahuta is intended to produce weapons. Democrat Stephen Solarz of New York, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs, criticized the Pakistani government of President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq for showing "blatant disregard" for U.S. antiproliferation laws...
