...Cruise can get their attention by testing the tensile strength of Oprah's couch - but somehow these guys don't fit the image of movie star. The Harris poll suggests the yen for a platonic ideal: the humane man (Washington, Hanks, Smith), or the tough hombre (Wayne, Eastwood, Gibson, Ford), or the matinee idol (Depp, Clooney) or the pretty woman (Roberts).

GM expects sales in China to top 1 million units this year - making it one of the few fast-growing markets for the beleagured automaker. DaimlerChrysler and Ford are also producing cars in China for export (though so far not in the U.S.), benefiting from the low-cost labor too. > And with import tariffs coming down on cars and auto parts, foreign manufacturers may win even more sales in China - if they can hold off the increasingly sophisticated local competition...
