Our View Japan and the risk of a trade war

Japan's 400 billion dollar surplus, limited US deficit gains since 1987, and bid rigging fuel calls for structural reform. Kaifu’s shaky grip and LDP rivals hinder bold steps while Congress speaks of tariffs unless more US imports enter Tokyo. Bush seeks open markets but faces a hard row ahead.

Right to be Offensive at Public Expense Debate
A critique of ROPE the Right to be Offensive at Public Expense sparked by NEA funding debates. The author cites NEA chair Frohnmayer and Rep. Williams, arguing against public grants for offensive art and condemning censorship claims while defending free speech but opposing public subsidies for individual artists. Annie Sprinkle performances funded partly by NEA grants illustrate perceived absurdities in state supported art.
