          Is this a good thing?   If the Japanese are successful in driving
        our chip industry under because of the concentration of capital that
        their society allows, we will all be in trouble!   Remember that in
        Japan there are individuals who control much more capital than there
        (oops, their) counterparts here.  They operate on a longer range plan
        than we.

          Surely there are any number of feasable solutions to unfair trade
        practices if one studies the issues and acts upon them as a whole,
        rather than using the symptom-by-symptom approach our government seems
        incapable of surpassing.


                                                                Thanks,

                                                                     Wade.
