An incomplete profile: you forgot to mention his extramarital affair with a hostess. Also he told a group of new civil servants that they must accept that they have given up their privacy and human rights in order to work for the people.

Japan is safe but the number of suicides, parents killing their children and family members killing each other seems quite abnormal.

Tens of thousands (if that can be believed) out of a city of tens of millions is just not enough. If people are serious about shutting down nuclear they need to get a hundred thousand people or more to occupy the area around TEPCO HQ or hold a sit in at a large station such as JR Shinjuku.

It should be considered child abuse to make students do +4 hours of sports in the heat of Japanese Summer. If they insist on playing baseball matches etc. they should take breaks every 20-30 minutes for water and to cool down.

This headline is incorrect. Carol Bartz was their 1st female CEO from 2009-2011.
