...month because of unexpectedly high demand. Buyers shed nearly 700,000 vehicles to claim government rebates on more-efficient models. Dealers complained that Uncle Sam was slow with payments, but consumers embraced the program, whose $1 billion budget was tripled by Congress after sales soared. Washington crowed that the effort created or saved 42,000 jobs. The bad news for Detroit? The three most popular models were Japanese...

Combining aesthetic appeal and a welcome social atmosphere, they are a positive first step in the worthy effort of creating new social spaces. Daily student artistic performances at lunch, alongside innovative outdoor food vendors, also add a unique and creative touch to an otherwise average stroll through the Yard.
