- In public, Japan's energetic new Prime Minister Toshiki
- Kaifu favors polka-dot ties and baseball games. But in private,
- according to a letter written to a minor functionary in 1983,
- he has more celestial concerns. He acknowledged in the letter
- that he was a UFO buff, one who had looked for unidentified
- flying objects on trips to Australia, the South Pole and
- Switzerland. Alas, he spotted no flying saucers, but, he wrote,
- "I'll live on with hopes of . . . encountering a UFO some day."
- The Prime Minister has a leg up on that wish. His cousin Norio
- Kaifu is an astronomer.
