The Ephemeral Bliss of the Free Fall

Dave Whitney, who has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize three times, has spent more than half a century studying the difference and similarities between the cultures and economies of Japan and the United States. Beginning with a tour with military intelligence in Japan in the 1950s, through an International Press Institute fellowship to study and tour in Japan in 1981, and following a tour of Japanese industry as leader of a Rotary International group in 1993, Dave Whitney has traced the evolution of modern relationships between two of the world’s leading economies and most diverse cultures.
