Order of The Sacred Treasure

An Imperial invitation to the palace was eagerly accepted. Ofusa later told a New York Times colleague:

"I have worked hard for the maintenance of United States-Japanese relations throughout my life .... When the war broke out, I did everything I could as a Japanese subject for my country. But never did I dream that I, as an employee of The New York Times and a working journalist, would have a great honor bestowed upon me by His Majesty the Emperor."

    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The fact that behavior is “normal,” or consistent with childhood development, does not necessarily make it desirable or acceptable...Undesirable impulses do not have to be embraces as something good in order to be accepted as normal. Neither does children’s behavior that is unacceptable have to be condemned as “bad,” in order to bring it under control.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
