...Conway, a turnaround expert with the firm Conway and McKenzie in Birmingham, Mich., says Ford's $26 billion debt could still prove troublesome, and hefty interest payments will cut into the company's ongoing profitability.

...Becky Cohn, last year she decided she had to try something different. Diets hadn't worked, and she wanted Molly - soon to enter the fifth grade - to be able to make good decisions on her own. In June, mother and daughter left their home in Birmingham, Ala., and traveled to Camp Shane, a weight-loss camp for kids age 7 and older in New York's Catskill Mountains. There, in an idyllic rural setting, kids like Molly try out new sports and activities and learn about calories, how to read food labels and, of course, the importance of eating three...
