...they dislike the press for asking them, but boy, do they gobble up the newspapers and magazines that provide the answers! Though a majority of Americans say they're pleased that honor and dignity have been restored to the White House, it is only human to gawk when a crack appears in the marble of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, especially if we've stepped on the same crack. Yes, it's part voyeurism, but it's much more I-wonder-how-they'll-deal-with-this...

First, Bridgestone/Firestone CEO John Lampe brought the tiremaker's 95-year-old business with Ford Motor Co. to a screeching halt over what Lampe called "significant concerns" about the safety of the Ford Explorer. One day later, Ford said it would replace 13 million Firestone Wilderness AT tires-mounted mainly on Explorers-that were excluded from Firestone's sweeping 6.5 million tire recall last August. Firestone admitted that those tires were no good but maintains that everything else on the road...
