Whole Earth Review, Winter 1990
“This is the WHOLE Earth Review, and that includes countries other than the United States. The following pages present a mosaic of viewpoints from American and Japanese writers. The idea is to get away from the quest for easy answers and get started on some of the hard questions. The questions raised here can be used as tools for understanding some of the issues that separate American and Japanese interests, as maps to some of the cultural bridges that exist now, and as pointers to the places where bridges are waiting to be built.”
