The [United States] possesses remarkably stable political, social, and economic systems and fosters a society that not only adapts to change but actually encourages it. The American openness to new ways of doing things is a tremendous advantage in a world characterized by constant technological change, as is the nation’s willingness to accept new talent and fresh ideas from throughout the world.
