The article considers whether Europe is poised for a substantial economic recovery and the factors, which might make such an event possible. While others sprint or jog the information superhighway, Europe is slithering. By any measure-miles of fiber-optic cable laid, numbers of television channels available or computers in homes-Europe lags behind the U.S. It fares even worse on such qualitative matters as the inventiveness of its software firms and its ability to produce entertainment that foreigners want to watch.
