 Profile of Shintaro Ishihara (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
John Nathan describes Ishihara as “a national hero and for many Japanese an appealing alternative to the party hacks who led the government throughout the nineties, while the economy collapsed and scandals involving fraud, bribery, and collusion among government ministers and yakuza bosses toppled one cabinet after another.
According to Nathan “Season of the Sun" is about a group of college students from wealthy families who "express their defiance of postwar respectability by gambling and brawling and indulging in promiscuous sex.” A film version was released in 1956, with Ishihara and his younger brother, Yujiro, in minor roles.
Nathan, a biographer of Mishima and a translator of one of his novels, had this to say about him: “Mishima, seven yours older than Ishihara, was his ardent champion from early on.

 Amazon.com: Mishima: A Biography: Books: John Nathan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Nathan uses copious excerpts from Mishima's writings, sometimes translated by himself, that the biography leaves the reader satisfied that Mishima the author, the man who sought to resolve his contradictions of life with words, is given justice in his frequent quoting.
John Nathan's MISHIMA: A BIOGRAPHY was the first biography in English of the Japanese novelist, whose 1970 death by seppuku after a failed coup d'etat is just as much a part of his legacy as his works.
Nathan knew Mishima well as a graduate student in Tokyo in the early-to-mid 1960's, and was entrusted by the writer with translating two of his works.

 John Nathan Sturdivant: In Celebration of His Life -- 3/1/98
That article appeared shortly after John was discovered to be suffering with the disease that took him from us.
The aspect I remember most about John, the first thing that came to mind when I started thinking about my comments today, was his incredible vision.
Today we may not be conscious, each and every moment -- or in too many cases, completely unaware -- of the fact that what Lincoln did 140 years ago drives what we do, who we are; but our lack of awareness doesnt diminish the reality that his vision continues to shape today and the future.

 westword.com - Music - John Nathan
John Cacianti, otherwise known as John Nathan, sounds like a lonely soul.
Nathan, of course, is no Jones; his voice may be twangier than a rubber band, but his lyrics fall too easily into a rut of classic-country cliches: burning candles, beer-chased tears, ugly ex-girlfriends.
And although his name isn't too well known in Denver yet, with an injection of raw guts and perhaps a tad more originality, it's possible that Nathan might not be lonely much longer.

The show's longest running — and final — producer, Nathan-Turner may not have created Doctor Who, but he assumed command of it at one of its lowest creative points and stayed with it until the end 10 years later.
In the process, he assumed a role in the minds of Doctor Who fans no producer had ever achieved before; from his loud Hawaiian shirts to his gentle demeanor, fans felt they knew John Nathan-Turner—even when they couldn't stand him.
In a decade that had seen the show undergo tumultuous change, he had been the one constant—Doctors had come and gone, but John Nathan-Turner had been there throughout, only getting off the bus once it had nowhere left to go.
