Right, and then we stopped trying and the rest of the world passed us.   A friend of
mine in Germany, who works for the national railway network and who, I might add, has
a great interest in the United States systems and visits here often, suggests that we
were always good in inventing technology but never very good when a business goes into
a downward curve.  He feels the Germans and much of the rest of the world know far
better how to keep things running.  Maybe we spend too much time in MBA programs
teaching young men how to make instant money.
