A Bamboo House is flexible, even transitory. For Dorothy it involved twenty- two house moves across six countries. All in just thirty-three years. People who live in these houses may be either in or out of the Ivory Tower. On or off the payroll. Careers begin, grow, and sometimes change shape.

Meanwhile, dear friends enrich the days and enlarge our horizons.
The Paper House is neither an account of soul-stirring achievement nor heart-rending abuse. Rather, it simply records the adventures of a child occupied with the business of growing up.

While the fairness of these trials has been a focus for decades, Japanese War Criminals instead argues that the most important issues arose outside the courtroom. What was the legal basis for identifying and detaining subjects, determining who ...
