VOX POPULI: Don’t bet on the alphabet soup of variants running out anytime soon

Dai-ichi Life Insurance Co. stopped selling COVID-19 insurance. The policy was designed to pay 100,000 yen to every policy holder who is diagnosed with COVI- 19. Dai-ich Life has stopped offering it because of the recent spikes in infections. The virus is contagious and the current vaccine is ineffective. It's the 12th variant of a virus identified by letters of Greek alphabet. Vox Populi is a popular daily column written by veteran Asahi Shimbun writers. They provide insights into contemporary Japan and its culture.

VOX POPULI: Is arrested lawmaker betting he will be found innocent?

There are rules for naming a racehorse. First, the name must be made up of two to nine "katakana" characters. Second, any name that is identical to that of a past G-1 (Grade 1) race winner is not allowed. Put another way, pretty much any name will suffice as long as the rules are followed. The winner of the 2006 Takamatsunomiya Kinen G-1 race was a…

Skelton: Poll shows voters are turned off by Props. 26, 27

You'd never know it from the incessant TV ads, but troubled horse racing would greatly benefit from a sports betting initiative on the November ballot. In fact, Proposition 26 is seen by some as a savior of thoroughbred racing in California. It would allow sports betting on professional games - football, etc.- at tribal casinos and four horse…
