...like Toyota, which overcame consumer prejudice in part by inventing kaizen, a manufacturing process and corporate mantra translated as "continuous improvement," Hyundai has rapidly built up regard for its products through an almost fanatical attention to Getting It Right. Consumer Reports magazine recently named the Sonata the most reliable car in the U.S. And Hyundai rose to second place in J.D. Power and Associates' 2004 survey of initial car quality, tied with Honda and trailing only Toyota. Six years ago, Hyundai ranked among the worst in terms of initial defects.

We really are on the edge of a precipice. It would take nothing...
...wonder, then, that the fans were loudly unsympathetic when the athletes' union went on strike last week. "The players are greedy," groused St. Louis Cardinal Rooter Greg Errion. "They have no regard for the fans. It's 'What can I get for me today?' The luster of ballplayers as American heroes has dulled." Nor did the fans feel very sorry for the owners, who, despite their poor-mouthing, toss about millions of dollars, largely, it sometimes seems, for the privilege of hanging about their employees' locker room...
