...masses heard a short cash-money millionaire saturating the American airwaves this summer. Yet the pop crowd probably didn’t realize that the dreadlocked Lil’ Wayne has mounted the jewel in his hip-hop crown. “Tha Carter III” represents the culmination of the most dramatic hip-hop trilogy of recent memory. As far as content goes, Lil’ Wayne’s newest album doesn’t depart far from his traditional material. With sugary club hits like “Lollipop?...
Nixon's successors couldn't forget either; it took nearly two decades for another incumbent to agree to a televised debate.

As recently as last winter, loan guarantees for carmakers had seemed like a piece of the Motor City's past (President Carter signed off on the Chrysler loan guarantees in 1980). But a combination of the economic slowdown and Presidential campaign politics, as well as the precedent of the federal bailout of Wall Street's banks, have helped jump-start Detroit's campaign for loan guarantees.
