...RAGTIME The musical version of E.L. Doctorow's best-selling novel could have been a high-minded bore, a musical for people who hate musicals. Or, given all the promotional hype (the show has been trumpeted seemingly since the Ice Age), another mega-disappointment. In fact, it turns out to be a landmark American musical.

"They gave a party, and nobody came," says Richard de Neufville, professor of transportation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
...will unveil a prototype gas-electric hybrid in January. For automakers wary of as radical a break from the ICE-age as all-electric cars, hybrids offer a compromise. They don't need an extensive public-charger network to overcome a limited range because the batteries are supplemented by a small gasoline engine. Toyota has thrown down the gauntlet by pricing its hybrid, the Prius, at $16,500 in Japan--about a quarter below production cost. The car, which gets 66 m.p.g., could be available in the U.S. within a year. Global warming will force "a slow phase...
