...automobile business is great. Just ask someone who's in it. "People want to buy cars," says Rod Buscher, CEO of Summit Automotive Partners in Denver, which owns 30 assorted dealerships nationwide. And he really wants to sell cars. The problem is that would-be buyers lack either the income or the access to credit that would allow them to drive a new Malibu or Lincoln or Camry off the lot.

In this fight club, the arena is a small dish, in the center of which is either a patch of food or the head of a female. (If she weren't decapitated, she wouldn't stay put, says Kravitz; and the males, being male, don't seem to care that she's not that lively.) Based on hours of footage, Kravitz says that male flies tend to use specific combat skills such as rearing up on their hind...
