...train whenever I want and go all over the country--although things are really far apart. I'm writing you from the middle of this dirt-pit known as Dakong. It is the home of some amazing 1560-year-old Buddhist caves which hold huge three-story-high Buddhas. Truly breathtaking. The monuments here are built on such a grand scale...
...China inevitably will become a major economic power, and its 1 billion people will provide a huge market for the advanced industrial countries. Do we want to rule ourselves out and leave that potential market to the Japanese and the Europeans...
...while many trial watchers were expecting the lengthy jail terms and huge fines and forfeitures that the Government sought, the judge seemed to be saying by his sentence that the U.S. Attorneys had gone a bit wild.

While Chrysler's predicament has some surface similarities to the recessionary days of 1981-82, the current U.S. auto market is an utterly different place. American carmakers have made huge strides in improving production, quality and design. But they face a competitive threat that would have been unimaginable back then. The Japanese transplants account for 14.7% of all passenger cars sold in America, up from 8.9% two years ago. Detroit, which has seen its U.S. market share plunge from 84% in 1978 to 68% this year, is likely to lose another 8 percentage points by 1994, according to a study...
Welcome to the world of microtechnology, where machines the size of sand grains are harnessed to do useful work. Huge numbers of microscopic sensors are already employed to measure the temperature, air pressure and acceleration of airplanes and automobiles. Delco Electronics alone sells 7 million silicon pressure sensors a year to its parent company, General Motors, for use in power-train controls and diagnostics. But scientists at Berkeley, Stanford, M.I.T., AT&T, IBM and a handful of other research centers around the world see much broader possibilities for minuscule machines. They envision armies of gnat-size robots exploring space, performing...
