-- Bush II and Nuclear North Korea Dinner
Dear Yalies in Japan:
Did the Right or
Wrong Yalie Win?
In response to popular email clamor, Yale Club of Japan will have an
Expanded post-Election Cocktail Hour after work
on Friday Nov. 12, starting at 6 pm at the
Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan, Yurakucho. Come and
commiserate, come and celebrate, come and get group therapy, come and get
insight from fellow Yalies.
The cocktail hour-and-a-half
offers a natural segway to our even more timely dinner speaker,
Kuniko Inoguchi, who will talk on
how a Bush II Administration will impact the effort
to contain nuclear weapons programs in North Korea, Iran and elsewhere.
Prof. Inoguchi, a Yale graduate,
served for two years until last spring as Japan's
Permanent Representative to the UN Conference on Disarmament in Geneva.
Now a professor at Sophia University.
Prof. Inoguchi can give a frank, insider's assessment of the outlook for
keeping the nuclear bomb genie inside the bottle. For more background on
this rising
star of Japanese diplomacy, Inoguchi-sensei's bio is
available on her personal web page at
http://pweb.sophia.ac.jp/~k-inoguc/
All will take place at the Foreign
Correspondents Club of Japan, 20th floor Yurakucho Denki
building, strategically located downtown
for intercepting the maximum number of members coming off work. The cash
bar at the "Yale Room" will open at 6:00 p.m.
The price will be about Yen 3,500. Because the FCCJ needs an
accurate headcount to prepare the buffet dinner,
please RSVP by email directly to Peter Hasegawa,
our energetic visiting student member, who will be counting noses:
peter.hasegawa@yale.edu
Finally, put on your calendar: Thursday 2
December, 7 to 9:30 pm, watch the Yale-Harvard Football Game (“The Game
2004” at Legends Sports Bar in Roppongi.
More immediately, see you
Friday night Nov. 12 at the FCCJ!
Jim Brooke
President of the Yale Club of Japan
