In the economic competition between American and Japanese
electronics companies, America has so far maintained
at least one advantage -- superior basic research.
According to a feature in yesterday's local newspaper,
Japanese computer companies are now trying to open
labs for theoretical research _in America_,
by hiring top American researchers away from
American labs and universities.

I am curious as to the reaction of this newsgroup's readership,
especially after seeing only a half-dozen responses
from American research universities to the query
"Which of you are now recruiting in C.S. theory?"
