But U.S. imports just keep on rising. That partly reflects what some economists have begun to call "hysteresis" -- a fancy term for the notion that new habits, like old ones, are hard to break. Americans have learned to love Japanese cars, TVs and videocassette recorders, and are reluctant to give them up, regardless of price...
