Nothing like stirring up a little envy, anger, and resentment to sell some books. Although Michael Crichton takes aim at the failings of American culture in Rising Sun, he saves his best shots for the Japanese, who are made to embody all that is devious, dangerous, and deeply un-American. Clearly this is a message many readers have been delighted to receive. Crichton's book appears this week at No. 1. FICTION WEEKS ON LIST
