...where nationalism comes in-against General Motors with a work slow-down can jam America's biggest industry-its auto industry. China can't do that. Cuba can't do that, of course.

The prime rate, the interest that banks charge their best corporate customers, went up a full i% from the 7% rate set only last January.
