About 20 years ago a Japanese delegation of Engineers were given a tour
of the plant where I worked. After the tour there was a get together in
the plant cafeteria. The slippage of U.S. technology was a subject that

One Japanese engineer smiled and said:
"Graduation of U.S. colleges is answer; two lawyers to every engineer.
Japanese colleges graduate 4 engineers to every lawyer!"
