# Tokyo Junkie

Tokyo Junkie: 60 Years of Bright Lights and Back Alleys... and Baseball is a 2021 memoir by Robert Whiting, discussing his experiences in Tokyo.
The book includes discussions about world events related to Japan as well as the author's own experiences in Japan.
Peter Tasker, in Nikkei Asia, wrote that the book is not only an autobiography of the author but also a biography of Tokyo itself, making it a "double biography". Laurence Green, writing for The Japan Society of the UK, stated that the work "plays out like a love letter to" Tokyo. Lesley Downer, in The Times Literary Supplement (TLS), described the book as "the story of Tokyo over the sixty years that Whiting has been there".

## Background

Whiting, enlisted in the United States Air Force, first visited Japan in 1962 when the Air Force sent him there.

## Contents

The author uses section titles related to the employment or life stage he had at the time. Short essays about a particular aspect each are included. Much of the book concerns baseball, a passion of the author, and the book also discusses the yakuza.
Tasker stated that Whiting "presents his young self as a naive, small-town guy". The author discusses the development of Tokyo that occurred in the 1960s. The 1964 Tokyo Olympics is discussed. The author had returned to the United States but in the 1970s came back to Tokyo. Roger Pulvers of the South China Morning Post stated "It is there his personal narrative becomes a compelling study of the society in with which he has thrown his lot."
The end of the book discusses how COVID-19 delayed the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

## Reception

Pulvers gave a positive review of the book.
Kirkus Reviews stated that it is "A delightful memoir".

# Bande Mataram (Paris publication)

The Bande Mataram was an Indian nationalist publication from Paris begun in September 1909 by the Paris Indian Society. Founded by Madam Bhikaji Cama, the paper along with the later publication of Talvar was aimed at inciting nationalist unrest in India and sought to sway the loyalty of the Sepoy of the British Indian Army. It was founded in response to the British ban on Bankim Chatterjee's nationalist poem of Vande mataram, and continued the message of the journal Bande Mataram edited by Sri Aurobindo and published from Calcutta, and The Indian Sociologist that had earlier been published from London by Shyamji Krishna Varma.
# Ebal I of Challant

Ebal I of Challant (French: Ébal I$^{er}$ de Challant or Ébal le Grand, Italian: Ebalo I di Challant or Ebalo Magno; died 1323) was a nobleman of the Challant family of Aosta Valley.

## Biography

He was the son of Godefroi I of Challant, viscount of Aosta, and Beatrice of Geneva. He inherited from his paternal uncle the titles of Aosta and the fiefs of Challant, Graines, Ussel, Fénis and Saint-Marcel. Ebal married Alasia of Montjovet, from whom he obtained part of Montjovet.
In 1295 he renounced to the title of viscount of Aosta, which thus returned to the counts of Savoy, receiving in exchange the remaining lands of Montjovet. During his c. 50 years of countship, he was a faithful ally of Amadeus V of Savoy, but kept good relationships with the latter's main enemies, the Marquisses of Montferrat. In 1280 he intervened with Amadeus to obtain the releasing of William VII of Montferrat. In 1297 he was appointed as general lieutenant of Montferrat by Marquis John I.
His death in 1323 at Challant was followed by a dispute among his heirs. This lasted until 1337, when his sons agreed to give Fénis to Ebal's grandson Aymon and Ussel and Saint-Marcel to Ebal II of Challant.

# Invasion (Harry novel)

Invasion is a 2000 novel by American author Eric L. Harry, detailing an invasion of the United States by China.

## Plot

The United States turns its military into a much smaller force by switching its priorities to domestic matters, starting with using the U.S. military budget to fill the gap in Social Security's trust fund left there by past Congresses and presidents who spent the money on other things, and continuing onward in the same theme.
As the U.S. is downsizing its military, China becomes a world superpower, building new supercarriers and becoming a dominant naval power, in addition to a growing economic power. Eventually, China goes down the route of conquest.
China begins to conquer Eurasia to such an extent that it reaches the borders of the European Union in the west. With most of Asia under its domination, including Japan, everyone assumes that China is coming for Europe next, but China uses a strategy of misdirection to make the Europeans think it will invade Western Europe, and it actually pins the European naval force in the Mediterranean and blockades it, which neutralizes it as a threat without the cost of invasion.
China instead throws its resources into attacking the Caribbean. The Monroe Doctrine makes the new President Bill Baker, who came to office on a pro-war platform, have to make a critical decision: to try to halt them with conventional forces or to use nuclear weapons.
The U.S. must make a decision as the Chinese invasion forces in Central America gather steam: to build traditional naval super-carriers to meet the new Chinese ones or to build highly-experimental arsenal ships that can fire thousands of missiles at once, shower its target with overwhelming force, and have a crew of only around 100 because of the extent of automation. They might be more effective but are also untested, and the U.S. does not have the resources for both. Baker decides to back the arsenal ships.
As the likelihood of invasion via the Gulf of Mexico comes, many Americans leave the exposed states. The Joint Chiefs of Staff are not sure if that is another diversion attempt and the Chinese might come from the East or the West Coasts. The U.S. President orders the military to plan for those eventualities as well. A full war economy along with total mobilization is called up, including the U.S. President's daughter.
Baker refuses to order a nuclear strike and orders the military to meet the threat with only conventional arms. He is convinced that any nuclear strike will lead to a series of escalating exchanges and will leave both countries so destroyed that neither side can achieve any victory.
Baker frequently meets in the situation room, or the Map Room of the White House, which is returned to its original purpose, to oversee plans. There is tension between the Chinese military and the civilian leaderships, and Baker tries to make a behind-the-scenes deal with the civilian leaders. Baker tells the National Security Council, "We will die as a united nation of 50 states or we will win; there will be no territorial concessions."
In the meantime, the U.S. braces for invasion.
