Trust in tatters
We've known all along we shouldn't believe everything we read in the newspapers, but this is getting ridiculous. First came the double blow to the credibility of the New York Times -- America's oft-proclaimed "paper of record" -- by disgraced reporters Jayson Blair and Rick Bragg.

ANDREW SULLIVAN SAYS: 'THE INTERNET DID IT'
Prominent blogger-journalist Andrew Sullivan, former editor of the New
Republic magazine, says that the Internet should be given much of the
credit for forcing the resignation of top New York Times editors Howell
Raines and Gerald Boyd: "Only, say, five years ago, the editors of the New
York Times had much more power than they have today. If they screwed up, no
one would notice much. A small correction would be buried days, sometimes
weeks, later... The blogosphere in general created a growing chorus of
criticism that helped create public awareness of exactly what Raines was up
to." Sullivan quotes a letter from one of his readers: "Now in newspaper
journalism, as in so many other traditional industries (real estate,
banking, computers, retail sales, airlines, travel, etc.), we see that the
Internet strips away discretion, power and secrecy. It is very hard to
withstand the forced transparency induced by this new technology." To which
Sullivan adds: "And you ain't seen nothing yet." (The Daily Dish 6 Jun 2003)

HONORARY SUBSCRIBER: EDGAR GUEST
Today's Honorary Subscriber is the newspaperman and popular versifier
Edgar Albert Guest (1881-1959), who amazed the publishing world with his
unstoppable talent for producing a steady stream of sentimental and
moralistic rhymes on such subjects as home, mother, and the virtue of hard
work.
For several decades as verse columnist on the Detroit Free Press he
wrote a poem every day of the week. His first book, the best seller "A Heap
o' Livin'", was published in 1916, followed by "Just Folks" (1917),
"Collected Verse" (1934), and "Living the Years" (1949). Guest is thought
to have written more than 11,000 poems.
Guest was born in England and came with his family to the United
States in 1891. At age 13 he went to work for the Detroit Free Press, first
as an office boy, and then as a police reporter. There he spent his entire
60-year working career, and despite his fame as a versifier he always
considered himself mainly a newspaper man.
His verse writing was an unplanned career development. In 1898 he had
editorial responsibility for finding verses and other short filler items,
and one day instead of clipping a verse, he decided to write his own. Soon
he had a weekly column, "Blue Monday Chat," and then a daily column,
"Breakfast Table Chat." Ten years later, in 1908, Guest decided to
distinguish himself by writing almost entirely in meter and rhyme.
Eventually he got together with his younger brother, a typesetter, and
began self-publishing small collected volumes of his verse. That was the
start of a book publishing enterprise that would eventually sell his books
in the millions.
Guest acknowledged that he was no favorite of "highbrow, longhair
intellectual critics and writers," attributing his journalistic popularity
to this simple formula: "I take simple everyday things that happen to me
and I figure it happens to a lot of other people and I make simple rhymes
out of them."

Como esta. Last week I went to the actor's school at Yutenji on Tuesday and Thursday morning. I also went to the theater to see the play at Roppongi in one of my classes. On Saturday I moved to Tsunashima with my mother, so I was busy preparing almost all days last week. But it's nice to me that it takes about 30
minutes to get to the actor's studio and 50 minutes to school.
I'm glad to see you again in this class. Yuya Honda

Last Satuaday, I went to Yokota Base because one of my friends invited me to have dinner and see a film at Yokota base. It was 4th times for me to go there and I like the place because I can feel as if I am in America. We exchanged yen into dollars first, then we ate dinner at a restaurant, by the way I ate big roast beef and it was so delicious. After the meal, we went to a movie theater and saw the film " The Houres". I spend good Satuaday night.

Hard to Make Good Relationship with Clients
By Mizuho Ueno
Last Sunday as usually I do, I did a part-time job in the chyukagai, the china town. I work at Heichinrou which is the oldest restaurant in the chinese town three days in a week. My work is not serving food but receiving call from consumers. Of course, the contents of telephone are various from reservations to complaints. Usually three people who work as receiver of telephone. And the morning the person who ate and bought souverior at our restaurant called us. He said there was a piece of plastic in souvenior but my cowoker said wrogly we did not sell such a food. So he angered and call us again complainig with her attitude. Our boss accused her and resign her. I was vvery surprised at the news and thought it's too hard to get along with client.

Yesterday, I went to Kodoo-no-Kuni (a Children World?). I haven't been there since I was in 6th grade,so I was kind of excited.
We arrived there around 3:00 and payed 600 yen to enter.
In Kodomo-no Kuni, there are boats, cyclings, and some animals like a cow or a pony to see. We wanted to row a boat but it was already closed. So we decided to do the cycling instead, but it was also closed. Plus, all the animals were already in there home and we couldn't see them....
It seemed that the reasons of it is because since it's a Children World, it close early. Children must go home early.
I wonder why we went there for.. Just for walking??? Well that was a good exercise. I might have gained 2kg.

Last Friday, I went to the college for the first time. The class I took at the college was, 'Making The Music VIdeo With Computer Graphics'. I went with my friend who was also interested in making music videos. The class was held by a teacher who was a professional graphic designer.
It was very hard for me to make the video with computers because I'd never had experience doing that. Though, after the two-hour
lesson, I had managed to make 30 seconds video crip. It was hard, but so much fun!!
I am thinking of going to the college again.

PRACTICE MAKES US STRESSFUL
By AYA YAMAZAKI
First, go and see this page : http://www.ne.jp/asahi/music/shinkyo-wind/
I belong to this brassband. This group is organized with many working people who love music. I've attended this band since this April. I play the clarinet there, and tomorrow, we will hold our concert at Nakano Zero Hall in Nakano. It will start at 7 o'clock p.m..
So last weekend, we of course made our best effort to gratify the people who would come and see us. Last weekend's practice was longer than usual and it was eight hours long. I couldn't attend all of that because of school classes. At the end of that long-time practice, everyone got very tired. We were so nervous about what the conductor said that everyone could claim about that! Only one week before the concert, members got to be black situation. So I thought that too long practice makes people frustrated and stressful.

Hello,
What did I do last weekend? I was working at my part-time job. (><;) I was lucky to be working because once I got there, there was a big event going on. It was a ViVi Magazine event. The models from the magazine were there and for the closing act, Chemistry and EXILE started to sing and dance and I got to hear and see them live. It was really cool. Proffesional singers can really sing!! Kai

My friend came from Mie which is my hometown to have an interview for job-hunting. After she finished her interview, we had an appointment to meet in Shibuya. I haven't met her since I went home in January so it was nice to meet her. We are both having hard time finding job, so most of the stories we talked about was about our future. We went same junior high school and high school and we both have a same dream. We are best friends. She doesn't like Tokyo very much because it is so noisy and crowded, but we enjoyed the night.
