FLANIGAN: I think this view of Japan as an invincible monolith probably is not right. The thrust of the argument has been that because they can have a monopoly in Japan, then obviously they are going to be able to beat us. It is my understanding that American business in general feels that monopoly is bad, that it makes people less efficient...

...middle-aged remember them as those darling eight-year-old stars of Hansel and Gretel, tragic dears orphaned by an auto crash, who became the exemplary children of the Marezie Oats oatmeal commercials. To the kids who had to eat the gruel, Pookie and Paul were the double thrust of the '60s youth rebellion. Paul is revered for exposing himself at a Dallas rockfest, Pookie for burning her bra at a Miss America pageant and announcing that "some of my best lovers are high public officials...
