Let me see if I understand this: the Japanese manufacturers were brassed off
'cuz they were afraid he was going to awaken the American mfgrs and/or
workers to the situation they were putting themselves in so the Japanese
sabotaged his car....
Well, it worked. The American workers/mfgrs didn't figure out what was
happening. I just heard on the radio that Toyota was number one in sales in
the most recent quarter, having passed a sleeping General Motors. Clever
fellows, those Japanese...

Since he died in a car crash, I would have expected to see all of the
country's conspiracy nuts out in force suggesting that it was payback
for the manner in which he blamed the loss of America's leadership in
industrial know-how squarely on the backs of BOTH America's industrial
workers and managers, first and foremost of which were being those in
the automotive industry.. Perhaps the conspiracy theorists can't agree
on whom to blame, unions or leadership. (Yes, he was in a Japanese
manufactured car.)
