In the Nov. 12 Kyodo article "Taipei demands redress, apology for sex slaves," we read that "In a rare show of unity, the island's ruling and opposition parties passed by a unanimous vote the Taiwan Comfort Women Resolution, calling on Tokyo to 'accept historical responsibility for its World War II sex...

A repugnant anachronism

Regarding T. Mamoru Hanami's Nov. 6 letter, "The right to express oneself": Perhaps Hanami is unaware of the long and sordid history of lynching in America. Literally hundreds, if not thousands, of African-Americans were brutally beaten, hanged and burned during the post-Civil War Era in the United States....

Yes we can . . . what, Mr. Obama?

KYOTO — America appears to have been swept up in a feel-good moment. But as much as U.S. President-elect Barack Obama appeals to me as a public speaker and wordsmith, as much as I appreciate his candid, inclusive style as an antidote to everything redolent of President George W. Bush, as thrilled as...

Clear-cut violation of rights

I certainly don't agree with Tamogami's view of history, but I do believe that in a democracy that values freedom of speech, everyone should have the right to state his opinion without fear of reprisals. That said, if the general had committed any crimes, violated regulations, etc., then sacking him...

Reappreciating Okinawa's languages, while there's still time

The saying "a language is a dialect with an army" is a bit worn out in linguistic circles. A change in how it is uttered might save it, though. How about "gengo ndi yyu shē guntai muchuru hōgen yaibin" (言語んでぃっゆしぇー軍隊むちゅる方言やいびん)? This is how you would say it...

Hopes for next president

LONDON — Around the world, America's presidential election campaign has attracted as much attention as domestic political controversies in each of our countries.

'Deception'

There's a certain anachronistic value system at work in "Deception" that's both quaint and slightly annoying. So many things about this film seem so outlandishly yesterday as to prompt the sotto voce notion, "Are you guys for real?"

A more self-reliant Japan

Regarding Robert Dujarric's Oct. 18 article, "Japan in a post-U.S. world,": I agree that Japan needs to chart a more self-reliant path. The financial decline of the United States has been hyped a bit too much and too much of the U.S. gains in southwest Asia have been ignored by left-friendly reporters....

The trial of an obstetrician of a Fukushima prefectural hospital, where a 29-year-old woman died of blood loss during a Caesarean operation in December 2004, serves as a reminder that doctors' efforts to save lives sometimes lead to death. As the level of medical treatment advances and becomes more complex,...

'The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes'

The films of the Brothers Quay often seem less like movies in the conventional sense and more like half-remembered nightmares from the depths of the subconscious.
