...also promising to deliver a new range of subcompact and compact cars starting next year, along with the battery-powered Chevrolet Volt. GM has five new small cars on the drawing board, including two versions of the Cruise that will replace the Chevrolet Cobalt next spring. In addition, Henderson has confirmed that GM is working on a new family of small cars that, following the intervention of the United Auto Workers, will be built in Michigan rather than China, where GM originally planned to make them. Henderson says the new small cars will be affordable and profitable...
...cars and cabooses chugged along tracks that circled diners’ tables, which were arranged in a big loop and named. Ours was the Beijing Station Platform #6. Each car carried a plate of food that diners could reach out and grab as the train passed by.

Billy was first inspired to learn the art of the pitch after enjoying a Ginsu-knife demonstration on an Atlantic City, N.J., boardwalk. He realized that an eye-to-eye pitch has to be honest and salable to the core. It was this skill--along with verbal agility, stamina and likability--that he used to get consumers to buy products they never knew they needed. He carried the torch for vintage pitchmen, and I had hoped that he would continue to do so for a new generation. But his pitch was cut short far too soon...
