Obuchi holds a pizza on Time magazine cover, Kan mocks

Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi is shown holding a pizza on the cover of Time magazine's recent edition. The cover says, ''Once dismissed as 'cold pizza,' Japan's unlikely leader proves he can deliver.'' Naoto Kan, leader of the major opposition Democratic Party of Japan, said, ''At a glance, someone resembling Obuchi was used as a cover figure. Who believes a real premier showed up (with pizza)?''
