Ossan-I am sorry I did not color-code the end of my post for sarcasm.

I was also criticizing Terrie Lloyd for writing a piece detailing what he obviously thought was an obscure bit of history when the story is available in detail in Bradley`s very popular book-as I mentioned previously.…

Takuya Imai, 34, was arrested on one charge of rape and another charge of attempted rape on a train on the JR Tokaido line between Tokyo and Yokohama in March and April.

I guess I should have said that George H.W. Bush`s plane was shot down, but you all get the point. Terrie Lloyd does a better job writing when he sticks with subjects he knows, like doing business in Japan. But thanks for bringing the subject up, Terrie.

What is so surprising about the "history" as outlined here by Mr. DaiJob, Terrie Lloyd? Geez, a big slice of the history of Chichijima is detailed in James Bradley`s bestseller from a few years ago, "Flyboys." Millions of Americans have read about it.

NPB has only had a significant drug testing program in place since last season began.

Strangely, Kiyohara has only played in a handful of 2nd team games the past 1 1/2 seasons. There will come a day when his story comes out and it will not be pretty. Many Japanese…

Ossan is right on the money with his comments. A good place to research the historical background of issues pertaining to Korean migration to Japan during the first half of the 20th century is William Wetherall`s site: http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/yosha/gateway.html
