...strong Pajero fan club, says his parents, coworkers and friends are all pleading with him to replace his ride with something more respectable, but he is reluctant to do so. "I can't trust the company," Akutsu says, "but I like the car. At least the tires haven't come off." Others are less forgiving. Shoichi Nakagawa, Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, recently said he was "speechless from disgust" over the company's "malicious" behavior. Public goodwill is dissipating at a critical juncture: Mitsubishi lost $1.9 billion in its 2003 fiscal year, and management is forecasting similarly...

Try driving into Sri Lanka's capital from such areas as Bentota, Unawatuna or the newly hip Trincomalee, and?even if you haven't crashed in the traffic maelstrom or been totaled by zigzagging three-wheelers?you'll be in serious need of some rest and rejuvenation.

"We just haven't studied antidepressant drugs in kids enough to make many definitive statements." Part of the problem is that the brain chemistry of kids is different from adults'. Prozac works for both groups, but Paxil seems to work only for grownups. Kids, moreover, are amazingly responsive to placebos. While 70% of kids get better on Zoloft, for example, 60% improve on sugar pills...
...were written by one of the premier composers; (2) boast a lush score, preferably with a few standards; (3) have a libretto that today is either amusingly anachronistic or lingeringly poignant; (4) offer strong roles to either contemporary musical theater stars or star-is-born kids; and (5) haven't received full-dress Broadway revivals in decades. The ideal musical, by these criteria, is Rodgers and Hart's 1937 "Babes in Arms."
