Captain Jay Marsh had never questioned where his ultimate loyalty lay. He had witnessed the bloody horror left behind by the retreating Japanese army during World War II's final days. And he had abandoned his beautiful Filipina fiancée to see his duty through. But not even Marsh could guess the terrible personal price he would have to pay for his loyalty. He would follow General Douglas MacArthur to Tokyo itself. There he would become the brilliant, egocentric general's confidant, translator, surrogate son--and spy. Marsh would play a dangerous game of deliberate deceit and brutal injustice in the shadow world of postwar Japan's royal palaces and geisha houses, and recognize that the defeated emperor and his wily aides were exploiting MacArthur's ruthless ambition to become the American Caesar. The Emperor's General is a dramatic human story of the loss of innocence and the seduction of power, about the conflict between honor, duty, and love, all set against an extraordinary historical backdrop.

For many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This book argues that this was because the political and social order could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not the actual written laws, that formed a political language indispensable in maintaining the common order.

In 1930, the idea of neutrino was born. The neutrino was said to have no mass, no energy attribute (frequency), electrically neutral and not interacting with matter - in short, a physically in-describable entity. In 1956 Clyde L. Cowan and Frederick Reines announced that they had detected the neutrinos released from the nuclear reactor. Since then, the neutrino experiments took a giant leap. All the countries are conducting many neutrino experiments at an enormous cost. Every new neutrino experiment finds new things about neutrinos. The neutrinos have – mass- magnetic moment - left handed property – parallel, anti-parallel – neutrino-antineutrino- flavor – many more. The neutrinos interact with almost all elements such as electron, hydrogen, deuterium, chlorine, gallium. The neutrinos have a complex mechanism by which the neutrinos can change their property (flavor) while travelling. 1n 1900, the gamma rays were discovered. By 1914, all properties of the gamma rays were experimentally found. In 1932, the neutron was discovered. In the subsequent experiments conducted in a couple of years, all the properties of the neutrons were understood. Generally, every new experiment of any physical entity brings closer to the understanding of that physical entity. This is a well-observed fact. In the case of neutrino, every new experiment adds a new property to the neutrino. The mystery of neutrino keeps billowing and deepening. Neutrino experiments grow in size and budget. No useful purpose of neutrino is ever found, excepting sky-high claims of the neutrino scientists to their respective governments for sucking the tax payer’s huge money. All looked little fishy – are the neutrino scientists building castles in the air? This book reviews the neutrino experiments and the findings shock one to the core.

Saionji Kinmochi was an aristocrat, a scholar and a progressive liberal politician who twice occupied the highest political office in the nation and who, during three decades, as adviser to three Emperors, coordinated and directed Japanese politics. His long life encompassed the emergence of the modern Japanese state, the establishment of the constitution, the integration of Japan into the inter-war, international community and the creation, and subsequent erosion of the democratic process. The story of his twilight years chronicles the conflicts between the goals of liberalism and internationalism which dominated Japanese politics in the 1920s and the right-wing militarism which held sway in the years leading to the Pacific War. He was a central figure in the turbulent, formative period of Japan’s political ideology.
