...largest automotive firm.* It earned profits of $160 million last year, compared with a $349 million loss for privately owned rival Peugeot S.A. Well-heeled graduates of France's elite schools vie for jobs at Renault. So do assembly-line workers, whose tasks are made easier by an array of robots in some cases more sophisticated than those in Japan...
...Chief Minister of India's bustling southwestern state of Maharashtra, Abdul Rehman Antulay, 52, had built a reputation as an outspoken local leader of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Congress (I) Party.

What the New Right proposes instead, in its pending array of court-hobbling bills, is to substitute its own predilections. But the very notion of such legislation, says University of Southern California Law Professor Leonard Ratner, implies that "Congress could by statute profoundly alter the structure of American Government."
