...picture business," says Fisher, as if to rally the home team. That's certainly true. But even if Kodak wins its case, undoing Fuji's market inroads will be difficult. Indeed, the bitter rivalry with Fuji revives memories of epic U.S.-Japanese clashes over products such as steel, televisions and autos. All Fisher needs to do is look at the auto nameplates in the parking lot to judge the staying power of determined rivals...

His father fought off panzers in the Ardennes; Mr. Peepers gives money to Greenpeace, to protest nuclear testing. His father almost broke his back pouring molten steel eight hours a day; he does aerobics three times a week, in classes taught by a girl. His father drank boilermakers; he sips a nice double-decaf Frappaccino after a day pushing paper, designing software, filing briefs, nurturing children, in an economy we so delicately call "postindustrial...
