The company's problems run so deep that only a major overhaul could do the job--and then only if a smooth road lies ahead. Wagoner is getting plenty of advice about how to fix things, from cutting GM's $1.1 billion stock dividend to demanding deeper wage-and-benefit cuts from hourly workers.

A U.S. appeal was denied. And when Congress failed to act on U.S. Department of Agriculture proposals to fix the WTO problem by a September deadline, Brazil, exercising its right under WTO rules to "retaliate," announced that it would no longer honor patents and copyrights on U.S. movies, pharmaceuticals and other items. The U.S. warned Brazil to back off or face the wrath of Congress, but Brazil is seeking $1 billion...
