    She appears frequently on Japanese TV and usually shows off a lot of leg, her best assets. She's a model.

    Maybe the guy was a Terminator from the future and was trying escape to his own time. You know, Arnold first appeared in the buff in the original Terminator.

    —A trainee nurse desperate to get into their dressing room to meet the Beatles was told by John Lennon that she could only come in if she stripped off. She came in and John ordered her to take her clothes off. She was naked when the cinema manager came in.

    the power of rock stars.

    It sounds like it could be good. But trying to recapture the magic of the late 70s is bound to disappoint the Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers out there. You can only lose your innocence once. I agree with what he says about movie trailers. It should be a teaser that doesn't give away the best parts. The original Star Wars teaser from 1976 had just bits and pieces of what was in the movie.

    Yes, I felt it here in Tokyo. It was a small one (because of the great distance from Aomori), but somewhat ominous considering we haven't had one in a while.

    People need to get their priorities straight. Waiting 2 minutes for the next train should be considered wisdom. People can wait 2 hours for a bowl of greasy ramen but they can't wait 2 minutes for the next train. What's up with that?

    SMAP. must stand for Seriously Mediocre An-talented People. They are better cooks than they are singers. That's for damn sure.

    I like mango lassi. I always come home to it. It's "Lassi, Come Home."

    Speaking of fried chicken, I miss Swanson's TV dinners. Something about the combination of the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots and dessert cobbler that smacks of Americana.The ultimate 1950s retro space food.

    This photo probably sheds a lot of light on what happened, to the demolition analysis experts out there.

    For me, FBC serves its purpose about once a year, around Thanksgiving time. Thanks for the frozen turkeys and boxes stuffing! For other "foreign" stuff, I go to Kaldi.

    For some reason I'm glad there's no photo accompanying this article.

    The MiG in question was one from the early 60s, probably a MiG-21F. It had the jet intake on the nose. The one that landed in Hokkaido was a later model. In the early days of the Vietnam War, according to the author, the North Vietnamese had a superior fighter kill ratio to the Americans, but that changed after the experts at Area 51 took apart the early MiG and found its weaknesses. She claims that the kill ratio reversed overwhelmingly in the Americans' favor after they did this.

    I finished reading the book. Nice try. While the author is clearly an extremely savvy writer and has done her research, the "revelation" that comes at the end doesn't make much sense. The 300-plus pages that come before it are intended as a set-up for the rationale behind the dirty secret that the government can't reveal. It is revealed that during the Vietnam War the engineers at Area 51 managed to get their hands on a captured Soviet MiG through a deal with Israel in order to "reverse engineer" it, thereby finding its weaknesses and giving the U.S. a clear military advantage. Using this fact as a basis for her argument, the author suggests that the "flying saucer" that crashed at Roswell was Russian in design and the American engineers did the same thing with it - reverse engineer it. But why on earth would the Soviets intentionally send their most advanced aircraft on a suicide mission into the American desert to "freak out" the American public into a mass alien attack panic, and in the process allow the American "militarists" to gain access to their most advanced aerospace technology? Stalin was no doubt evil but he wasn't stupid. Jacobsen is a talented writer but in the end she shoots herself in the foot. You end up thinking, "maybe it was from outer space after all."

    What the author is leading to, and this is even before I've read the conclusion, is that if it is a known fact that the U.S. sent on numerous occasions their own "UFOs" (which were in fact high speed, high altitude spy planes decades ahead of their time technologically) thousands of miles from the homeland on overflies of the Soviet Union that politically embarrassed the Communists, why would it be unbelievable for the Soviets to have done the same thing over American soil? Tit for tat. Of course they wanted to stir conflict with the U.S. That was the whole point: they wanted to get back at them.
