...timing is everything. So why did it take Detroit 30 years to catch up? "Either the crisis isn't big enough or the vision isn't persuasive enough," says John MacDuffie, a manufacturing expert at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. Instead, during those years, the domestic auto industry has been a slow leak, skidding from one restructuring to the next, chasing its declining market share as its costs have inflated...

...this is a fairly benign one—halting growth is far preferable to reversing it, as through layoffs. FAS must make up the deficit somewhere, and the $10 million saved by the freeze constitute one sizeable step out of the woods. It could have been much worse.The catch is that it probably will be. Two hundred minus 10 leaves $190 million that FAS has not yet decided how to cut.

...third period that Minnesota pulled decisively ahead of Harvard, first with a goal from Gopher Kelli Blankenship at 5:33, followed by another from Emily West just four minutes later. With the score 3-0, Minnesota was too far ahead for the Crimson to catch up. “There were a couple of questionable goals that were scored that could have gone the other way if it had been in our favor...so the kids did everything that they could do,” Stone said.
