...papal tour, before a gathering of Roman Catholic academics from around the nation, John Paul sought to soothe anxieties, offering a "special word of gratitude" to theologians. But then he proceeded to declare that "true" academic freedom must balance independence with responsibility to the magisterium (the church's teaching office) in unity with the papacy. "It is the right of the faithful not to be troubled by theories and hypotheses that they are not expert in judging or that are easily simplified or manipulated by public opinion...
...trend is toward the belief that any individual act whatever is acceptable if it can be thought to foster love or self-esteem and enrich the life of the participants. The position of the Roman Catholic Church is that self-gratification alone is morally dangerous and that sex must be linked to commitment to marriage, children, the family, society-that its pursuit must be a reinforcement of fidelity rather than an encouragement to promiscuity.

A prime example: every one of the million video tape recorders sold in the U.S.-including those marketed under American labels-was developed and made in Japan...

Says Donald Frey, chairman of Bell & Howell: "The biggest problem in the U.S. is not the lack of inventive capacity but the lack of businessmen willing to take the risk investments." The bottom-line obsession of many managers results in quick payoff investments to retool old products rather than expensive long-term spending to develop new ones. Though Texas Instruments this year will spend $155 million on research, Vice President George Heilmeier admits: "We have become conservative and spend less on basic research...
