Got that right. In the 1950s it was politically expedient to squash
Kodak. This year its beat on Microsoft. There was a great piece
in this evenings <i>Lancaster New Era </i>about Armstrong World Industries
which is currently facing 154,000 separate law suits because they produced
asbestos insulation more than thirty years ago, when it was considered
state of the art and no one believed it to be harmful. No small wonder
that everyone is in business for the short haul in the United States.
Get as much money for Numero Uno as you can before someone else gets too
jealous and gets the best politician money can buy to help wipe you out.
Or until the little guy litigates to get some of your money because, for
him, that is easier than working. As Americans we believe in hard
work, creativeness, inventiveness unless we can get it without trying.
