LETTERS, Page 6Push for Quality
Patriotism does not require Americans to buy inferior U.S.
products. Our business leaders have squandered a technological
edge. How unfortunate they didn't gauge American public reaction
and work for quality a decade ago (BUSINESS, Nov. 13). Charles
E. Wilson of General Motors once said he thought that "what was
good for the country was good for GM, and vice versa." In fact,
what the automotive industry does badly is bad for the country. The
United Auto Workers, the public's obsession with constant style
changes, and Japanese protectionism have been the scapegoats, but
management's neglect of quality control is much more to blame.
