AFP on Thursday: “On the Yasukuni issue, Prime Minister Abe may seem to have waved a white flag to China, but his real answer is, ‘This is none of your business.’ He has not accepted China’s interference in domestic affairs,” Lee [Teng-hui] told reporters.

I don’t know if he said this in English, Japanese or Chinese, but did any Japanese newspaper report this comment?

LBJ’s spirit visibly weakens: “[He] asked who would get the Democratic nomination if he decided not to run for another term. One aide said Kennedy, and braced for a Johnson’s tirade against the Harvard tormentor and snivelling runt (rant?), or worse, but the President asked benignly instead, ‘What’s wrong with Bobby?’ … ‘He doesn’t know how to deal with people on the Hill, and a lot of them don’t like him, but he’ll try.’” (p. 736)
