- LETTERS, Page 6A Cuckoo Proposal
-
- You note that the U.S. division of Japan's Sony wants to
- grab the Pentagon's $30 million research contract to develop
- high-definition TV at the expense of Zenith and AT&T (BUSINESS,
- March 13). If Sony succeeds, the U.S. will be in the same
- position as a bird that allows a cuckoo to lay an egg among its
- own. When the eggs hatch, the baby cuckoo grows at a fearsome
- rate and pushes the other babies out of the nest to their
- deaths.
