...sadly, the condemnation of Jenninger's remarks clouds his message and allows the millions of Europeans who sat silently by during the Holocaust to escape the blame of history. It is a cowardly retreat to a position of moral comfort--where it is easy to believe that the Holocaust was the creation of a single madman and his henchmen.

...taking the blame, but marketing strategy may be one of Stempel's weak spots. Both the Chevrolet and Pontiac divisions lost market share during and after his stints as their general manager.

The problem with most...
...screened the film. But Paris still smoldered with Temptation controversy last week. An investigation into the September attacks aimed at U.S. director Martin Scorsese's movie turned up evidence that militant Christian groups linked to the ultra-right National Front led by Jean-Marie Le Pen might be to blame...
