	World: Mori Elected Japan's Prime Minister
		TOKYO (AP) - With Keizo Obuchi on life support after suffering a massive stroke, Yoshiro Mori was sworn in as Japan's new prime minister today in a handover that was not expected to significantly change Japan's national policies.
		Though the news of Obuchi's sudden illness was a shock, and revelations of the government's failure to disclose it for nearly a day generated a good deal of anger, the election of Mori today was met with a calm reaction on the street and in financial markets.
		One of Obuchi's main concerns before his collapse was a reform of the national police force prompted by a scandal over how police had lied to the media about their handling of a kidnapping.

		But Obuchi proved the skeptics wrong, as the back-room negotiating skills he honed making his way up the ranks of the ldp were put to work uniting different factions at a time when it looked as if the country's economy might collapse and drag the rest of the world down with it.
		Colleagues said Obuchi wanted to survive in office long enough to be the first prime minister of the 21st century and to officiate over the summit of G-8 countries this summer.

	The Daily Yomiuri: A Constructive Agenda for Obuchi
		Ascribing to Obuchi and his team the kind of executive authority enjoyed by U.S. presidents is mistaken mirror-imaging, so evident in Japan watchers' endless bleating for bold leadership rather than for credible policy steps that are achievable within the existing political framework.
		What is clear is that Obuchi and his team need to avoid the pretense of boldness and instead credibly pursue real policies that further Japanese economic interests and the public's call for more responsive democracy.
		First and foremost, Obuchi needs to connect with the Japanese public and candidly explain, in layman's terms, the dilemma that Japan is facing, while also providing his government's action plan for correcting structural problems in the economy.
