...think GM has an eco-friendly gene in its body. But at the Detroit auto show on Sunday, GM touted a new plug-in electric concept car called the Chevrolet Volt.

Buy this to win originality points, or to please the person on your list who delights in musical toys or psychedelic bric-a-brac...
...AIDS Relief allocated $63 million this year for the treatment of pediatric AIDS. The Clinton Foundation negotiated a 50% reduction in the price of a key medication.
