...when it comes to covering an event that attracts hundreds of matches and players and thousands of fans and spreads them over 30 courts and two weeks. Sure, when it gets down to the semis and finals or other times deemed convenient by CBS, you can usually count on five cameras and slo-mo and continuous (if sometimes inane) commentary.

The goal was an unprecedented tax credit, carved out just for Chrysler, that would have let the company count its losses as profits--allowing it to deduct the cost of capital improvements from its federal taxes, something only profitable companies are normally allowed to do. If Chrysler failed to turn a profit again, its losses would become the government's losses, a neat trick by anyone's standards. Chrysler's strategy for achieving this goal was a mixture of guilt-tripping and blackmailing...
