"These lions are letting themselves be seen easily in broad daylight," says Yosemite researcher and wildlife biologist Leslie Chow. "That's atypical behavior, and it bothers us." Their behavior has become such a public-safety issue that Yosemite's management has consulted attorneys about potential lawsuits and posted warning signs to help waive liability. Chow is in the middle of a study to radio-collar...

Girsky thinks the company needs to junk 27 models to eliminate redundancy and stop competing with itself. Take the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. In their heyday, the sporty siblings divided up a broad and profitable market of muscle-car enthusiasts. These days, though, muscle mania has waned, and the pair is left slugging it out in a narrowing segment. GM execs may want to keep at least one of the offerings to compete with the popular Ford Mustang, but they are faced with a dilemma: both cars are built in the same plant in Quebec, and killing one would...
