...gruesome news generated by the world's auto industry these days, this bit of information almost reads like a typo: new car registrations in Germany rose 21% year on year in February, the country's Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) announced on March 3. This, though, was no error. The 278,000 cars put on the road, crowed VDA president Matthias Wissmann, amounted to the highest level of sales in the month of February in a decade...
Debates about what should and shouldn't be in the DSM are fascinating and often bitter, and as I have pointed out before, the book makes at least one fundamental error in the way it conceives of mental problems: it ignores causes almost entirely. If you feel sad and tired for a couple of months, have trouble sleeping and making decisions, and gain weight, you can be given a DSM diagnosis of depression (296.31 or 296.32, mild or moderate, recurrent) and prescribed drugs for it - even if the reason for your funk is that you just lost your job.

In his closing argument, Coleman's attorney Jim Langdon argued the election was so rife with error that the panel might not be able to declare a winner...
...Iraq - in favor of more troops. Obama could easily find himself in the same sort of hawk-vs.-dove debate that has boggled American Presidents from Vietnam to Iraq. Traditionally, Presidents favor more troops - and precipitously lose public support. In this case, Obama's margin for error is minuscule, given the enormity of the economic crisis. He simply can't get bogged down in Afghanistan. And he simply can't allow al-Qaeda and the Taliban free rein. And every option in between seems either a gamble or a fantasy...
