THE MAN AND THE DOLL
MOTOR CITY
Sam Turk took Concorde to New York and then a private Lear jet to Detroit.
'Welcome to Motor City' a sign said, and some wag had sprayed 'Greetings honorable colleague' over the word 'welcome' in a reference to the manner in which the once mighty US motor industry now found itself desperately aping the Japanese.
Industrial dominance was a hard thing to fathom, Sam thought to himself as he took the chopper to the Global building. Why, it wasn't thirty years since the USA was such an economic power it didn't seem as if it could ever end. How do these things happen? A hundred years before, the British had been the Japanese, so to speak. After them, in the middle of the century, the people of the United States were unquestionably the Japanese. These days, perhaps rather ironically, the Japanese themselves were the Japanese. Who would be the Japanese next, thought Sam? Probably the Germans, but you can never tell.
