...cars will compete for a relatively small pool of buyers, who can afford expensive, sporty cars, says an official with a foreign carmaker. "It's all about boys and their toys," adds Joseph Phillippi, an independent auto analyst from Short Hills, N.J. "They should have written their own checks instead of going to the government...
...each step in the release process gets crunched. Instead of having a manuscript copyedited all at once and then sent to the author for review, doing it piecemeal can whittle the typical four-week process down to less than one, Culpepper says. Two weeks of fact-checking can get cut in half, and design and layout times may be curtailed from five weeks to five days. Eight days are shaved off the usual 10 for proofreading. And last-minute corrections are done in a single day instead of a week. When the printed books arrive in the warehouse, they...
...responsibilities that could fall to them under the Baucus bill.

Meanwhile, a slight quarter-inch movement of Wilhite's vulnerable spinal cord during his rescue by paramedics or at the hospital and he would be paralyzed...
...mangled Eclipse and slide a backboard behind Wilhite before carefully lifting him out and placing him in a rigid collar. At the hospital, doctors considered operating immediately to fuse Wilhite's head back onto his spine, but that was impossible because of Wilhite's collapsed lungs and brain swelling. Instead, Bhatia and Dr. Doug Kiester attached a Frankenstein-like steel halo to Wilhite's head to keep his neck in alignment. Six days after the accident, Bhatia led a surgical team of 30 that spent five hours placing a titanium plate at the back of Wilhite's neck and connecting...
