The Charlotte Observer serves a textile producing community, and does not share my view of textile quotas. This web page has links to Observer stories on textiles and clothing over the course of the fall:Textile Jobs: Goodbye U.S., hello China -- Charlotte.com
The latest story, by Stella Hopkins, describes the fight by the textile industry to protect itself from foreign competition in the face of the end of the quota regime: "Fighting a flood of textiles". This is a nice piece, describing how the textile industry sought support from other countries that were threatened by Chinese competition, and how the industry used petitions for temporary "safeguard" quotas in a masterful series of rearguard actions.
Joe Johnston's Atlanta Campaign was good, but not better than this.
