...Tell me where the idea to add zombies to Pride and Prejudice came from. Was there a Eureka moment? Actually the credit for this belongs to my editor, Jason Rekulak. He had had this sort of long-gestating idea of doing some kind of mashup, he called it. He didn't know what it was, he just knew there was something to it. He had these lists, and on one side he had a column of War and Peace and Crime and Punishment and Wuthering Heights and whatever public domain classic literature you can think of. And on the other...
Greenberg is not likely to escape tough questions. It was Greenberg, after all, who supervised Joseph Cassano, chief of AIG's Financial Products (FP) unit, whose sales of uncollateralized credit-default swaps brought down the company. Representative Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat and committee member, blamed Greenberg for "allowing a culture to develop that completely contradicted the insurance-company ethic of limiting risk."

(Showroom traffic is increasing, notes Summit Auto's Buscher; it's financing that continues to lag.) But that also means that we'll be readier to buy when credit starts to loosen. Even if this recession lingers longer than expected, results will pick up substantially in 2011. Analyst Luedeman predicts that sales in North America will bottom out at 8.4 million units this year (others say slightly higher), then jump to 10.2 million...
...build consumer demand. The US is the radical on the issue saying that its Treasury is "all in" and will raise whatever money is necessary to fix its economy and reverse job losses. Nations like Germany and France think the approach is irresponsible, and they may not have the credit ratings and access to global capital that the US does, which makes the disagreement academic...
