All the cracking down the Justic Dept (read: FBI) is doing viz-a-viz
Operation EXODUS and Japanese-IBM Information exchanges reminds
me of a page in history.  In the early 19th century, the British
government was even more fanatical about keeping details of the
``high technology looms'', engines, etc all to themselves to no avail. 
Our Funny Business Investigators may be more advanced, but somehow I 
suspect that in the long run they'd do better to learn from history.

Unfortunately, given the present administration's policies, learning
from history to the Reagan-ites could mean revitilazation of the U.
S. Oreintal Internment Camp system from WWII.*SIGH*
