...good way to pick up or save a new car buyer. It would have created some goodwill. GM and Chrysler could also have introduced customers to dealers that are staying open in their part of the country. They could have offered a year's free maintenance to build a bond between a dealer that is not just around the corner and a customer that could buy a car from a manufacturer with a location close...
...bondholders complain that neither GM nor the Treasury has held any kind of serious discussion with them. In fact, CEO Henderson has described the offer to bondholders - 225 shares of GM stock for every $1,000 of bond face value - as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition...

Prince Charles' deadpan double act with the frog betrays the relish for thespian activities that enticed him to star in amateur dramatics as an undergraduate at Cambridge University. His sons William and Harry drafted a couple of mates - James Bond star Daniel Craig and soul diva Joss Stone - into the lineup, and also put in an appearance themselves. With such a proliferation of princes, the frog - present in every frame - remains unkissed, though it does get to nestle on Harrison Ford's shoulder, inspire Robin Williams to mimicry and share...
