Off Japan's Reparations

Japan's 96-year-old pearl king, Kokichi Mikimoto, wants to live until he's at least 102 so he can repay the world for the Pearl Harbour attack.
The spry, old Mikimoto, who discovered how to grow cultured pearls and has made a fortune raising them, quipped, "I can't afford to die before I am 102.
"Japan has been beaten in war, and I mean to make by myself all the money she needs in reparations payments."
