Additional competition is coming from Japan. More than two dozen Japanese firms, including Canon, Sony, Hitachi and Panasonic, have started producing and exporting the small calculators. Following the strategy that they used so successfully with transistor radios, the Japanese are trying to corner the market by lowering prices and accepting razor-thin profits on high volume. But for once, American producers seem able to stand on their own feet.

Some of these were found by anthropologists in Canon del Muerto ("Massacre Cave"), where a number of Navajo families were slaughtered by Spanish soldiers in 1805. The relics lay undisturbed for years because the Navajos feared spiritual contamination by the dead...
