...Pancake's world, solace in love or other human contact is race. Lovers fail to understand each other, and sex is often distant an cold. Families are frequently pathological or simply nonexistent.

And without the rigors of a competitive atmosphere, American industrialists will probably fail to construct Mondale's nifty, new auto industry. Japan's "unfairness" in this sector consists mainly in being able to build better and cheaper cars than we can. Part of the problem lies with aging Detroit factories, and, yes, a break of some sort will help the companies to find...
