 Developing Correspondent Account Policies and Procedures
In conducting a risk assessment of your correspondent banking area, it will be important to review the types of foreign banks you have accounts with, the types of transactions they conduct and the frequency and dollar amounts of those transactions.
Your correspondent banking policies and procedures should begin with a general statement indicating that it is your policy to attempt to detect, deter and report any use of your correspondent accounts for money laundering or other illegal purposes.
These sections prohibit maintaining a correspondent account for a shell bank and require records (certifications) to be maintained on behalf of the foreign bank.

My impression is that this isn't rooted in the correspondents' own laziness, but that the incentive to do so simply isn't there and that the principal disincentive comes from the limited nature of their editors' and audiences' news story preferences.
One of the frustrations for correspondents here appears to be that like Alice's looking glass, they have to check their reflections of Japanese society by jumping over to the side of their audience and editors in order to imagine what they want to "see".
The foreign correspondent in Japan (or as I imagine, the majority of foreign correspondents all over the globe) who use "slipstreaming" as a large part of their normal practice, use it to pick out potential features to write, trends to cover, from the incoming daily and "spot news".

 George Berkeley [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Berkeley explores the relationships between the objects of sight and touch by introducing the notions of minimum visibles and tangibles, the smallest points one actually can perceive by sight and touch, points which must be taken to be indivisible.
The apparent size of a visible object varies with distance, while the size of the corresponding tangible object is taken to be constant (NTV §55).

 Amazon.ca: DVD: Foreign Correspondent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
For inexplicable reasons, Foreign Correspondent never achieved the fame of The 39 Steps or North by Northwest, but it is certainly good enough to join the ranks of these better-known Hitchcock thrillers.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT has achieved a well-deserved reputation as a masterpiece of suspense and intrigue, and was instrumental in upgrading the reputation of the thriller genre (it was nominated for the best picture of 1940).
"Foreign Correspondent" is, in fact, one of the director's greatest films, every bit as good as "The 39 Steps," "North by Northwest" and other famous Hitchcock classics and far superior to "Rebecca," a film that Hitchcock himself described as belonging more to Selznick than to him.
