Dear Japanophiles,

As you may know, Ian Buruma is spending a fellowship year at the Woodrow
Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.

He served as discussant at two of our recent Japan programs:
1) "The Monster's Trail: Godzilla in U.S.-Japan Relations" (October 28,
1998) Speaker: Michael Schaller
2) "Can a Psychological Big Bang Occur in Japan?" (November 2, 1998)
Speaker: Masao Miyamoto

On both occasions, Buruma was a critic par excellence. You can read all
about what he had to say on the Woodrow Wilson Center Web site:

Happy reading, and we look forward to your feedback.

Yours sincerely,

Mary-Lea Cox
