    Comment: The author, Prof. Kurashige, was wrong about his statement above. The following announcement of Dr. SB Woo in 1999 can prove the author's incorrectness: "For the rest of my life, I shall not run for public offices; shall not accept any Federal government appointment; and shall be registered as an Independent."]
