...National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Mich., says it's revising its formulas to better reflect real-world representations of "driving cycles": that is, up hills, down hills, acceleration rates, city miles and highway miles - the driving conditions that affect fuel efficiency or, in the case of hybrids and electric cars, how long the battery will last. This is why the EPA says it "cannot confirm" GM's mileage claims but is happy the company is innovating such fuel-efficient cars...
...start impacting service. I'm talking about cuts in the 20%-to-25% range across the nation."

Willow Run, almost on the edge of Ann Arbor, Mich., was built not by GM but by Ford, opening in April 1942. From the start, its job was to turn out B-24 bombers, the workhorse of the U.S. Army Air Force's strategic campaigns in World War II, unaffectionately known to its crews as "the flying shithouse."

Mosquitoes plagued the site until Henry Ford imported...

It's a great story, and it's a true one; in 1942, GM took just two months to convert its Cadillac assembly line to one that could turn out tanks. The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor buzzed with boffins working on government contracts, and in 1948, the campus had 21,000 students enrolled - or a fifth of the total number of students at every university in France. Two years earlier, a veteran editor of the Detroit Free Press wrote, without irony, "Detroit has been hailed as Detroit...
...Crimson men’s tennis team traveled to the mid-west this weekend for a pair of testing match-ups against two top Big Ten teams. On Friday evening, No. 48 Harvard (4-3), traveled to chilly Ann Arbor to take on No. 19 Michigan (6-4), where the Crimson failed to overcome the Wolverines for the fourth consecutive year. The team then drove 200 miles through a snowstorm to play Northwestern (10-1) in Evanston, Illinois, where Harvard could not earn a point against the Wildcats.“The weekend was really challenging,” Crimson...
