...becomes chronic, as it does in battle, long-term chemical changes occur, leading to high blood pressure, an increased rate of arteriosclerosis, depression of the immune system and a cascade of other problems. "Humans have a fairly robust capacity to withstand a massive dose of acute stress," says Dr. Fred Goodwin, director of intramural research at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). "Where we fall down is in our ability to mobilize for recurrent stressful episodes." Today the physiology of stress is being worked out in extraordinary detail.

That is one reason, economists point out, for the auto industry's troubles, since it is one of the heaviest steel users. Says C. Fred Bergsten, director of the Institute for International Economics in Washington: "In the long run, jobs saved by protection of one industry tend to be offset by the loss of jobs in other industries." In the short run, protectionism is a big contributor to inflation...
