...recent years has been the bland similarity of its products, which seem to have been stamped by the same cookie cutter. At a new-model preview several years ago, a Cadillac engineer was asked his opinion of the main difference between the look-alike Chevrolet Cavalier and Cadillac Cimarron. "About $5,000," he said dismissively. Many 1980s-era models were also prosaic, underpowered and poorly executed. But a handful of new models demonstrate that GM divisions, when well motivated and organized, can build distinctive, high-quality products. A sampler...
...scouts are from Troop 501 in La Canada-Flintridge, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles. They've begun the first day of a trek at Philmont Scout Ranch, the 215-sq.-mi. wilderness near Cimarron, N. Mex., that is scouting's premier "high adventure" base. Months of training hikes, equipment checks and dieting for obese adult advisers have preceded this day. The hikers will trudge through dense forests, up and over 10,000-ft. mountain passes, pelted by daily thundershowers. Staff members at backcountry camps are decked out as miners, trappers and other frontier characters to provide history lessons...

He waited for more than two hours after he knew the coup attempt had begun, and then, under pressure from loyalist commanders to come to Noriega's aid, Olechea and his troops moved out from their base at Fort Cimarron at about 10 a.m. Not until an hour later did the rebels manage to seize a state radio station and begin broadcasting their capture of Noriega...
...effort to broaden its market and appeal to younger buyers, Cadillac launched the subcompact Cimarron in 1981. More like a Chevrolet than a Cadillac, the $13,000 vehicle has failed to excite luxury-car buyers. Now General Motors is turning to a leading Italian car stylist in hopes of developing a sporty new Cadillac that may fit in better with the division's sumptuous line-up of Fleetwoods, Coupe DeVilles and Eldorados (sticker prices: up to $35,000). Cadillac has asked Sergio Pininfarina, 57, to design a two-seat convertible, named the Callisto after one of Jupiter...
