<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I can't say that 'protesters' quite encapsulates the
nature of the demonstrators. I have no knowledge of the court proceedings,
but I imagine that the plaintiff would have had to convince the judge that more
than just protest was threatened.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I haven't seen the item covered in any other newspaper
here in the UK, although whaling and 'The Cove' is about the only thing on Japan
these days outside of the financial newspapers. New prime minister ?
A footnote, if you're lucky. Cautionary tales about coalitions?
Better to do Germany where at least the lead character has face and name
recognition. It's another media war that Japan is losing
hands-down.</FONT></DIV>
