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.
