...Unfortunately, my first new car - a 1979 Pontiac Sunbird - was an unfitting $5,300 homage to the old warrior. It was a lemon, a cut-rate and an ill-aimed stab at beating the Japanese competition in the growing market for smaller cars spawned by rising fuel prices. None of the Pontiac heritage had rubbed off on the Sunbird. After the car saw several years of gentle driving, mostly by my wife, an interior door handle popped off. The fan knob went kaput, and the radio played only intermittently. The final indignity was when the hood release broke, making...
...curtail it. Yet no one seems to expect this to happen. Papers relay the boasts of pirates that they will exact "revenge" on Americans. How so? On whose behalf? Such solidarity is less typical of entrepreneurs than it is of terrorists and guerrillas. When Phillips' captors ran out of fuel, they radioed other pirate-held ships for help. There is talk of pirate dens on and near the Somali coasts: Harardhere, Eyl, Boosaaso. "Den" is a quaint, Peter Pan - ish way of putting it. "Enemy naval base" might be more...

This difference adds up to men spending about two more full work-weeks a year writing than women do. That can make a big difference at a time when schools' increased reliance on adjunct professors is pushing...
...space. While not large enough to launch missiles, it demonstrated that Iran had developed the technology necessary in order to do so in the future and, perhaps more importantly, had an intention to continue exploring this form of military technology. About two weeks ago, Iran unveiled its first nuclear fuel manufacturing plant and announced an increased ability in processing uranium, despite the fact that the Iranian government agreed to engage in a “dialogue with respect” with President Obama. In spite of the Iranian regime’s repeated claims to the contrary, these actions present...
