The big question this week is, when Reagan urged America's youth to
emulate the entrepreneurial spirit of those young men who started a
multi-million dollar high-tech company in their garage, was he
referring to Apple Computer, which last week layed off 1,200 workers
and closed three of its six plants, or to Hewlett-Packard, which today
announced that its 84,000 employees would be furloughed for three days
next month?  Or perhaps he was talking about Data ("The Soul of a New
Machine") General, which is firing 1,300 people and closing its U.S.
plants for five days this summer?
