...Detroit. Last week Kearns, the inventor of intermittent windshield wipers, was awarded $11.3 million for patent infringement by Chrysler. The carmaker must pay him about 90 cents for each of the 12.6 million cars it equipped with the wipers from 1977 to '88.

It's as if they can't have any patriotism, they can't have any friends in Congress, they can't be committed to an idea or make a judgment that one idea is better than another idea. They're detached, very little involved in the process. There's enormous economic pressure put on reporters to do the short, USA Today-style piece, and that does not serve the hard work of government that we're all talking about...
