Thank you DR, and all..... I am sure people will want to hit the link above. Please don't be discouraged in working your way through the Japanese. Unless there is a way to archive the Japanese version from the web ASAP, it may be difficult to access this story again.

1) Go to the link above.

2) A Japanese-language page for FNN will come up with a LOT of graphics.

3) Go to the Hot Link that looks like a PURPLE LABEL ON FILE DOCUMENTS, on the top of the page (that then links to "News").

4) Then, (still with me!?) scroll down to the final story on the page that was posted on 2/5/03 at 23:39 p.m. local in Tokyo, under "Breaking News". You'll find the story there.

Incidentally, the article is, in Japanese: "Sankei Shimbun, "Shihon Shugi no Byoma ni Okasare Shakai Chitsujo ga Hakai Sunzen" to no Kita Chosen Naibu Shiryo wo Nyutei"

Good luck.

Please, everyone give comments, compare to Russia/East Europe situation, etc., and what might be done to further decay the socialist order
