WITH STUDENTS IN TOKYO 1961

EXCHANGING IDEAS WITH STUDENTS IN TOKYO IN 1961 AT IMPERIAL PALACE GATE. The exchange of ideas and general conversation was among the pleasantries of serving in Japan. Most of the students were proficient in English, whereas I was just beginning lessons in Japanese. Students were friendly, energetic and understanding about our past differences. It was this generation of students who took Japan to its economic heights of world success and progress through a corporate kind of free enterprise. Corporate and private enterprise has made Japan what it has become today minus the crime-rate. Japan's healthcare is probably one of the best anywhere on earth other than the healthcare plan our government has reserved for Congress and national leaders, elected and appointed.
