G.E. Equipped PCCs

[Fred W. Schneider III]

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
Lancaster New Era 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.
