...maintain the flow of credit. But, the comparison is bogus. As John McCain, a military man much of his life, liked to point out to the President during the election, there is a difference between strategy and tactics. There is nothing strategic about Detroit. Over 50% of the cars sold in the U.S. are made by foreign companies. There is no reason that the number cannot go to 80%. It serves the national interest to save the jobs in Detroit and in related industries while the economy is in trouble. It is hard to make the case that any broader...
...started in earnest in 2006 after GM had launched a major restructuring of its operations around the world. Consequently, Gene Stefanyshyn, the GM executive in charge of the project, moved to Australia to oversee the re-engineering of a rear-wheel-drive chassis that its Holden auto subsidiary had sold in small quantities over the years in both its home market and the Middle East.

Among its hottest items are the Disability Set - which comes with two dolls, a guide dog, dark glasses and leg braces; and Tilley, who uses an electric wheelchair. "She's jazzy, she's modern, she's now," says company director Emmanuel Blackman...
...Kindly Ones is unmistakably the work of a profoundly gifted writer, if not an especially disciplined one. Littell's great insight is into the damage that genocide does to those who perpetrate it. The Nazi bureaucracy has sold Max and his colleagues on mass murder as a hygienic solution to Germany's woes, regrettable but necessary. But carrying it out tears them to pieces. They stumble around half mad and constantly drunk. They wall off the horror, but it oozes through the cracks. The work of destruction is feeding back into them, destroying them in turn. "What if murder weren...
