...friend broached the idea, the billionaire brushed it off. "He said, 'They have a lot of problems,'" recalls Mason. GM stock has been a dud, and despite popping 18% after Tracinda announced its stake, the company received a major blow last week when Standard & Poor's downgraded GM's credit rating to junk (along with Ford's).

The UCRC and every member of the UC—past and present—who contributed to this constructive report should take credit where credit is due.
