"Confession. Years ago, I was invited to a cocktail party for an Asian-American networking group. As I introduced myself to a Japanese businessman, I reached out and firmly shook his hand.

The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."
