...market knows next to nothing about the fundamentals that should drive money into equities at this point. The skepticism about the Treasury's plan is enough so that it would be fair to guess that it has less than a 50/50 chance of succeeding. The toxic assets that may be bought from financial company balance sheets are only a part of the problem that banks face. Consumer, commercial real estate, and business loan defaults are almost certain to undermine money center results for the rest of this year...
...based parties came in second and third in the 1990 polls - the army's party finished fourth - former insurgent groups often bogged down by infighting are now considering electoral alliances. A strategic show of unity could easily fracture into shards of self-interest, particularly as the junta tries to drive wedges within and between tribes.

The new Camaro is powered by either by an old school, 426-hp V8 or an up-to-date direct-injection V6 engine that produces 29 m.p.g. and 304 HP in one package. During TIME's test drive, the Camaro showed that it blends the responsive feel and precise handling found in European road cars with raw American power, easily mastering the twisting, rural two-lane roads across southern Michigan. "It's a good example of what GM can do and what maybe they should have been doing...
