...much more troublesome than Chrysler's. The most financially pressing of these are the country's auto parts suppliers. They are facing extended plant closings at all three of the car companies and the bankruptcy filing of Chrysler. Pushing GM into court and risking an extended fight could cut the flow of orders to suppliers by enough that it would ruin a large number of the businesses.

The suspension of building vehicles will actually help The Big Three reduce inventory, but that...
Pacquiao/Hatton Fight (9pm) - Head to one of the sports bars and hope one of them has this fight on along with the Celtics game. Manny Pacquiao, the pride of the Phillipines, is currently considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the game right now, after his victories over Oscar "Golden Boy" De La Hoya and arch rival Juan Manuel Marquez.

When it came time for Souter's name to go before the U.S. Senate, the first part of Bush's gamble paid off - there was no bruising confirmation fight. He won Senate approval by a vote of 90-9. But once Souter was on the court, it wasn't long before it became obvious that he couldn't be counted on to solidify an ever emerging but never quite stable conservative majority anchored at the time by Chief Justice...
