The sex scandal that marked the brief prime ministership of Mr. Sosuke Uno last summer outraged many women, and helped the, opposition to its success in the upper-house election in July. Mr. Uno is forgotten, but the resentment (怨恨) of women about their treatment at the hands of men lingers (逗留) on
