It appears that my translation of "Father Fucker" will in the future
be used at Stanford University. If it weren't for the awful title, my
mother would be so proud of me.

You should still look into having yours published properly, with you
properly credited and paid.

That was a great book! It's a good read a couple times a year. The
translated version that had in the states back in the late eighties included
the Morita section. It's nice looking back on that and looking at today.

My favorite part was the part about the new Japanese jet which would
do for Japan what the Zero did for the Imperial Army; a quick look at
the pilot losses should indicate that that wouldn't be an unmitigated
benefit.
