Without an annual influx of at least 230,000 people, Germany's population of 83 million will shrink to 51 million in 2050 and 24 million in 2100, according to Reiner Klingholz, director of the Berlin Institute for World Population and Global Development. Such a steep drop could imperil funding for Germany's state pensions.

Earlier this month a top Bush official told TIME those...
...latest sales trends don't augur well for such vehicles. Sales of some full-size SUVs, such as the Ford Excursion and Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, fell during the first four months of the year, with a sharp drop in April, while sales of GM's mighty Hummer H2 tanked 25%. Smaller SUVs and crossover models are gaining momentum. "The mix is shifting down, and that's something we haven't seen in quite a while," Girsky says.
