The problems lay with the design more than the manufacture and with the decisions about what kind of cars to build--all clearly management decisions. How can you possibly blame the workers and their unions? what measure of control can you possibly imagine that they had in the process? -- Serf tomb nor stone nor grave for me (andy sims) just a bier up in a tree acs6j@virginia.edu to let the cold wind take me in
