Greetings
again from the Japan Considered Project Studio. Following a massive
computer crash. Of my own making, by the way! A crash that wiped out a
320-gig hard drive. And worse, the latest backup of that drive.
Fortunately, an earlier backup survived. So only data from early July
onward was lost. But that was enough to slow things down! Oh well ....
Puzzling
news on Japan's domestic political situation continues to flow from
Tokyo. So, to better understand the current situation, and hopefully,
to avoid more surprises in the future, I've asked Professor Daniel
Metraux of Mary Baldwin College in Virginia to join us this week. To
explain the current ruling coalition from the perspective of New
Komeito. Daniel has been researching the Komeito and Soka Gakkai for
decades. And knows what he's talking about.
As always,
continue to send your comments and suggestions for the program directly
to me at RobertCAngel@gmail.com. I read them all and take each one into
consideration when preparing new programs.
