...moment, at least, taxpayers can relax about that imposing figure. Whether it's donor fatigue or anger that the Big Three to a large extent brought this upon themselves, there simply isn't the political will in Washington to pass a comprehensive rescue plan. When they returned to Congress last week to plead for help, the automakers asked for $34 billion in order to avoid bankruptcy. Most economists agree that if even one of the Big Three - Chrysler, General Motors or Ford - were to file for Chapter 11, it would have a potentially crippling cascade effect on the economy...

Gujarat, Kashmir and the 1992-93 anti-Muslim violence in Mumbai - in which hundreds were killed yet only three people convicted - have...
That persona basically took John Wayne, the solitary western hero, and made him nastier, edgier, way easier to anger. Where the Duke drawled and lumbered--he wasn't so much a cattleman as a cattle man--Clint scowled and pounced, a scorpion with stubble. This character was both iconic and malleable: he was as at home on the streets as on the range and as a cop (in the Dirty Harry series), a convict (Escape from Alcatraz), a soldier (Heartbreak Ridge) and, later, a father figure like the Old Testament God--anyone with an intimidating presence and a sandpaper soul...
