...little like discussing roaches with a New Yorker. But in some ways, mesquite controls and defines the landscape. Because it exerts such exorbitant claims upon a starkly limited water supply, mesquite (in conspiracy with prickly pear, cedar and other heavy drinkers) dictates what will flourish and what will wither; it decides whether the cattle and sheep will have enough range grass to grow fat upon. Water and brush run certain segments of the West Texas economy in an almost embarrassingly thorough way. Sisyphus rolled a boulder; a rancher in West Texas, tempted to reflect on the existential futility of life...
...today's high-technology industries, proximity to raw materials or water transportation is not as important as it was for the auto industry. The entrepreneurial spirit now seems to flourish best near universities. There companies just getting started can find research help for their projects. In addition, discoveries made in laboratories frequently have a commercial application in new products...

"Record sales are flat," says an industry executive. "Everybody is making a nickel or a dime...
...have to work within constraints placed upon them by millenia-old traditions--in all their enchanting beauty and painful inertia--and by often unyielding natural environments, constraints not so familiar to us. In such constraints, the purely modern ideals of free market and individualism may mean that some individualism flourish while may needlessly suffer their ways towards the equilibrium known as death. This is why, in the absence of any comprehensive alternative to the NIEO, we should at the very vigorously discussing, with respect to the bilateral and multilateral policies which are the status quo, the political practicality and economic...
