...Fear, because that fear is too close to the headlines, and about the current Big Villains, because that means Islamic extremists. In Hollywood today, greed is the handmaiden of timidity. I envision a studio V.P. for marketing standing before a wall map, putting his hand over the wide swatch of Arab countries and saying, You want to lose all these markets...
...government allows manufacturers to choose whether or not they equip their vehicles with EDRs. Instead, they ought to be required in every passenger car, pickup truck and SUV. Without fleet-wide penetration, there are gaping holes in the data that engineers need to improve safety, both for motor vehicles and highways.

According to experts, they show wide variation in style and technique, suggesting that they were created in different eras. The images are still visible, thanks to the contrast between the dark red-to-black patina of iron oxide that covers the rock and the underlying gray that emerged when the patina was cut into or scratched away...
