Such prospects depress the legions of ardent sports buffs in the Soviet bloc quite as much as fans in neutral and Western nations, as the Kremlin leaders well realize. It is a measure of the political importance they attach to the Games, and the depth of their anger with the U.S., that they knowingly took a step sure to stir deep unhappiness among their allies and their own people, as well as citizens of other countries who ordinarily pay little attention to international politics.

They will deliver peerless quality, he believes, but only if management asks it of them. Honda's experience with U.S. workers in its American plants bears that out. Workers at Honda's plants in Marysville, Ohio, do work that is as good as or better than that at the company's plants in Japan, say Honda executives. Car buyers, especially those on the West Coast, have...
