For an instant I am in free fall, until wham! the concussive thump of a 40-year-old back slamming flat against the dirty canvas....

Although I was born in America, my first language was Japanese. My Americanism contains remnants of Japanese cultural influences and values. I react to events as an American, but when the events involve Japan or anything Japanese, my reactions no doubt are different from those of most Americans. When I read of Japanese atrocities during World War II and the years leading up to it, I feel more pain than anger....

The number of people in prisons fell from 1.3 million to 1.2 million in the four months. The drop was highest in Rhode Island at 32 percent and lowest in Virginia at two percent.
