...hybrid in January. For automakers wary of as radical a break from the ICE-age as all-electric cars, hybrids offer a compromise. They don't need an extensive public-charger network to overcome a limited range because the batteries are supplemented by a small gasoline engine. Toyota has thrown down the gauntlet by pricing its hybrid, the Prius, at $16,500 in Japan--about a quarter below production cost. The car, which gets 66 m.p.g., could be available in the U.S. within a year. Global warming will force "a slow phase-off of the internal-combustion engine," GM chairman...
...cops made a tiny mistake that evening, a small error of the sort that brings down empires: they failed to return Colbert's driver's license. (Ryan had thrown it away.) Colbert was about to move to Detroit, where he is now employed as a social worker, and he needed his Pennsylvania license to apply for one in Michigan.

...someone more mature audiences can root for. "Women in society in their 40s feel the absence of a lot of things," says Grier, who is engaged to Kevin Evans, 35, a record producer. "Society says they are not attractive, have no sex appeal and are thrown away. That's not true. I'm as energetic as I've ever been, and my sex drive today is so intensified that I just drive myself crazy. I feel better than I felt at 19." The baddest one-chick hit squad that ever hit town may be badder than ever...
