But the task of covering the news vyas rendered near impossible by the extraordinary security which Japanese police clamped on central Tokyo. ' .loggers had to carry their passports if they wanted a run.

The lobby of the New Otani Hotel, where many of the VlPs

were staying, was simply shut off when a leader left his room to get in his limousine.

Perhaps most incredibly, Japanese police halted traffic on major expressways in downtown Tokyo whenever one of the Big Seven travelled.
