	A Concise History of Japan
		Located in the center of the Yamato plain, Nara was laid out as a smaller copy of China's capital, Changan; eventually it grew to house 200,000 people, and it was a lovely city filled with pagodas, parks, and cherry trees.
		Nara's wrathful nobility stripped Dokyo of his titles and banished him to a small island.
		Minamoto Yoritomo, a son of one of the eliminated opponents, was spared because of his youth and entrusted to a supposedly loyal retainer of the Taira family, Hojo Tokimasa.

		We took the JR local train to Nara after breakfast and headed into Nara-koen, the big park there that shelters a large number of Unesco World Heritage sites in its leafy province, with sacred deer wandering here and there.
		Leaving the park and heading back to the train station, we stopped at the Kofuku-ji temple, which has two pagodas, one a 3-tier effort, and the other a magnificent 5-tier erection that is the second tallest in Japan.
		Nara had a good vibe and we were in the right mood to walk the tourist route between station and park, bedecked with fake autumn momiji.

		When NARA took custody of Nixon's records in 1977, it said it needed archivists of "special integrity" to screen the tapes and files.
		The law calls on NARA to return to Nixon (now his estate) "personal" material but to open to the public disclosable information "of general historical significance." Millions of documents and hundreds of hours of tapes await release.
		Taylor, who served as Nixon's chief of staff in the post-White House years, described his anger when "we were told that the Hardy Boys at NARA had kept a little list -- 201 additional fun-filled hours of their own greatest hits." NARA didn't open those tapes until 1996, two years after Nixon died.
