Monday mornings we were rather late were sitting a moment in the lobby when the Japan Advertiser reporter came up and we had to give him a long interview, which came out rather well.
He had lived in the states 20 years or so and so understood English.
Then later a man who knew Dr. Ishikawa's son came up.
