His sole bargaining chip is the top-secret formula that produces synthetic fuel which has powered the German fighting machine throughout the war. On route to his rendezvous, the Nazi is captured by an American patrol. Then, in a classic scene of capitalist connivance, an American major takes the formula from him, shakes the Nazi's hand and says: "General, from now on, the world is going to be one big happy...

As the computer shrank in size and cost, it suddenly became practical as the brains to run a robot. The second development was wage inflation. Two decades ago, a typical assembly-line robot cost about $25,000; that, plus all operating costs over its eight-year lifetime, amounted to about $4.20 an hour, slightly more than the average factory worker's wages and fringe benefits. Today that typical robot costs...
