...September. Considering how tough the U.S. luxury market is, that's an understatement. VW's challenge is to get more Americans to view it as a People's Car for the rich. And Phaeton's tepid European performance suggests it might also be a tough sell to status-conscious Yanks. Frank Maguire, vice president of sales and marketing at Volkswagen of America, admits it is "a real marketing challenge. The perception of the brand and the product don't match." Can VW get groovin' again? Investors seem to think so - VW's share price has rallied 12.23% since the start...
...perfect photo-op has flopped. Engineered by the most image-conscious White House in history, the carrier landing portrayed Bush as master and commander, an ideal bookend to his spontaneous performance with a bullhorn in the rubble of the World Trade Center after 9/11. Instead, the hothouse tableau already sharply at odds with the reality in Iraq did even more damage to White House credibility last week.

After looking at the videos of Terri Schiavo for TIME, Giacino said, "This is not compelling evidence. It's interesting and suggestive...
Giacino was the lead author of a landmark 2002 paper that defined a condition known as the "minimally conscious state." Minimally conscious patients are more responsive to the world than vegetative patients and, significantly, retain the potential to become fully conscious. The famous 1996 case of the "coma cop" involved a police officer who was almost certainly minimally conscious and briefly recovered consciousness after seven years. Schiavo's parents tried but failed to establish that this was their daughter's condition...
