Japan’s old imperial army never went into the field without a group of "comfort women" for the troops. Many male office workers in modern Japan (and in Japanese branches abroad) seem to think they are still at war.

Come party time, they are often pressed into behaving like bar hostesses.
The fort of Japanese male chauvinism-the old guard of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party—has unintentionally done more than most to change all that. 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.

Charles Simonyi says he never thought he might one day head into space back when he wrote a program for a Soviet computer in the early 1960s. That was long before he left Hungary for the United States, where he eventually made his fortune working as a designer at U.S. software giant Microsoft.
The 58-year-old paid over $20 million for his flight into space, making him the fifth so-called "space tourist". But Simonyi insists the mission will be far more than a pleasure ride. He says he wants to boost interest in space exploration, and during his stay at the international space station, he will conduct some medical experiments. He will also write a blog about the experience aimed mostly at getting more children on earth interested in space exploration.
