...EADS co-ceo Thomas Enders met with Germany's Economics Minister, Michael Glos, last Thursday, and promised him that Airbus wasn't looking for mass layoffs of blue-collar workers, but for administrative streamlining. His reassurances didn't stop calls in Germany for the government to take a big stake in EADS to counterbalance the 15% owned by the French state. (The two other big owners are Germany's DaimlerChrysler and France's Lagardère group, both of which reduced their shareholdings this year; Britain's BAE is currently selling its 20% stake in Airbus to EADS.)

Many Western liberals and secular types look at the zealotry closing in on them and draw an obvious conclusion: religion is the problem.

The London trial...

Hybrid technology looks better when gas is $5 per gal. than when it is $3. But that's beside the point, says Grove. What's at stake is national security and control of our own economy...
...shocking that the Sea of Love star isn't feeling so attached to the baubles. On Oct. 10 at Christie's, Barkin, 52, will auction off $15 million worth of them (including these diamond earrings). Taking a page from her ex's playbook (he bought a stake in his first company with his first wife's money), the fourth Mrs P. will use the loot to launch a production company...
