Stress

Found this WSJ article dated April 1st about OPI and stress. Very much worth the read although the ending does not provide solace at all.

It nicely fits with the idea I have had fleeting around lately that in Japan where "interpretation" is a public affair, a theme dealt with in standard media and a segment of the language teaching industry, the whole propaganda of the job is set in a limelight Disneyesque landscape of encountering with world personalities basking in goodwill and talk of enhanced international understanding. As usual, reality is multifarious and complex.
