"From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me."
Walt Whitman (1819-92)

Akhenaton (d. c.1354 BC)

Reflection on Society Economist Kazuhide Uekusa, 44, of Tokyo, Japan, is a well-known commentator on Japanese television. He may be better known now, however, since he has been fined 500,000 yen (US$4,700) after being convicted of attempting to look up a teen girl’s skirt with a mirror attached to his shoe. The judge in the case declined to impose a prison sentence recommended by prosecutors, but ordered that Uekusa forfeit the mirror.
