On the opposite shore, though, he found “a beautiful world,” says Okuhara. The people he met were expressive and confident.

To be taken seriously as a “partner,” Japan needs to show some genuine global leadership. It hasn’t. Case in point: the stalled Uruguay Round of trade negotiations. Japan could have given the talks a huge impetus–and still could-by declaring unilaterally that it would open its market completely to rice imports. Japan has a huge interest in preserving an open world trading system. Yet it has steadfastly refused to make a commitment on rice....

When Donald Trump announced his bid for president, “Jared got to work on his own agenda: He wanted to dig himself out of the debt he’d acquired buying the massive office tower at 666 Fifth Avenue and figured a higher profile with government ties might do the trick,” wrote journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis in a piece published by New York Magazine on Monday. “With the Qatari government, it eventually did, and he also wanted to strengthen America’s ties to Israel,” wrote Grigoriadis, who had 60 interviews with Ivanka Trump’s friends and colleagues and narrates the podcast “Tabloid: The Making of Ivanka Trump” which debuted Monday....

It is set to remind. It is set to honor. Few people have inspired the sports world more than Jason "J-Mac" McElwain.
