The Sunday, April 6 edition of the S.C. State Newspaper includes a New
York Times wire story on the obsession of Tokyo businessmen for
schoolgirls. Japanese men, according to the story, pay about "$150 an
hour to live out their fantasies about schoolgirls."

I think everyone will find this excerpt interesting: "...by
international standards there is remarkably little domestic outrage in
Japan at what people here call Loli-con, or the Lolita Complex, after
Nabokov's novel about a middle-aged man's obsession with a young girl."
