...concerned Americans are with helping to defend it against aggression. North America, and South America to a lesser extent, seems to Americans worth defending, as does Western Europe. Otherwise, however, more Americans than not would rather that the U.S. stay out, except for Asian areas with an obvious special interest for the U.S.-South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. Only a minority would give U.S. assistance in a crisis to such third-world nations as India (37%), Ethiopia (35%), Kenya (33%), Indonesia (32%), or Malaysia (32%).

After earning degrees in science and mechanical engineering, Tichauer decided to investigate for himself...
Tichauer shows little interest in the marketing and profit potentials of his designs. In any event, many of them are unpatentable-a fact that may help explain why the industries that consult him sometimes treat his suggestions as trade secrets. As Tichauer himself says: "Efficiency is the by-product of comfort.
