Obama offers meeting with first foreign leader to Japan’s PM

Mrs. Clinton, who in her new position is no doubt finding herself answering more phone-calls at 3 A.M. than she ever knew she wanted to, is in the far East, shaking hands and/or bowing to those countries’ head-honchos and their ministers.
