...technology in conjunction with a high-end component maker like Germany's Robert Bosch. Then, after Mercedes had made a splash by being the first to sell cars with the new technology, it would allow Bosch to sell the technology elsewhere. Now the suppliers are driving the process. Says Flynn: "BMW is going to get a shot at the suppliers' best technology because suppliers want to be associated with them." And Porsche has an engineering-services division that supplies other automakers with high-end equipment...
...proved right over the next decade. But what's decisive now is not so much size as (surprise!) sound management. Which car company is nimble enough to hop in and out of new market niches and still provide high-quality, sexy cars that people aspire to own? Mike Flynn, an auto expert at the University of Michigan, observes that new technology is only one of the elements--including styling and reliability--that make a car attractive.

"The Court's not particularly amenable to the idea of extending the First Amendment to include a constitutional right to information...
...ever consider the case, the Court would probably ask if watching a prisoner die actually fills a demonstrable informational need. "Would this really help people understand the nature of executions, or is it essentially an exercise in voyeurism?" asks Flynn. Sure, some of us might secretly harbor a desire to watch McVeigh die, but does that make the execution itself newsworthy? Edward Pease, the head of the journalism department at Utah State University in Logan, thinks not. "It seems to me the news organizations could find new and better ways to use the expenditures they're already spending...
