SIDELIGHTS: David W. Haines once told CA: "Moving from a small town in New York to Tokyo, Japan, in 1952, as a ten year old, was the beginning of what have been my three major interests over the years: Asia, international migration, and the structure of an American society which, in 1964, I found on my return for college to be rather foreign in its own right."
