...model T indicated that when it was first introduced in 1908 its fuel efficiency was 13-21 miles per gallon [Oct. 6]. According to the website of the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2006 the average U.S. passenger car got 22.4 miles to the gallon. It seems we haven't got very far in 100 years.

...happened as the Europeans smugly watched the American behemoth stumble: the not-so-almighty dollar began to rise. Since mid-July the greenback has gained more than 16% against the euro. And why? Because for all its troubles, the U.S. still looks like a safer and ultimately more profitable haven than Europe, with its irreducible jobless rate of about 8%, or those trendy emerging markets that have now crashed back to earth. You would have thought the U.S. would be hemorrhaging trillions by now; instead the rest of the world is learning to love its currency again...
...outside America that seem beyond average Americans' control--that represent the Republicans' best shot at unhorsing Obama now.

And not coincidentally, it is among these less educated white voters that McCain is strongest. Among non-Hispanic whites who have attended graduate school...

(The detainees' lawyers insist the captives would be tortured in their homeland.) The ruling, which faces appeal, could pave the way for more detainee releases...
...attack for the supposed greed that has taken place [Sept. 29]. A few CEOs made an ungodly amount of money but are just a small portion of those who work on Wall Street, most of whom are considered middle class. Those who got rich off the real estate boom haven't had to share any of the blame. So what if they made millions? So what if speculators were flipping houses without ever intending to move into them? So what if people took out numerous credit cards and bought homes they couldn't afford? I had nothing to do with...
