...emissions by 1.6 percent between 2005 and 2006, emissions from German cars actually increased by 0.6 percent. "Germany's fine automotive engineers should be focusing on making cars leaner and more fuel efficient," said T&E director Jos Dings. "Sadly, based on recent progress, they mostly seem to be intent on building ever heavier, larger and more gas-guzzling cars that simply don't belong in the 21st century...
...Romanian author Mircea Eliade. Like Coppola, the film’s main character is given an opportunity to reestablish himself. Unfortunately, neither of them succeed in their pursuits. The film begins in 1938 and follows a once-great, but now-aging professor of linguistics named Dominic (Tim Roth). Intent on ending his life, he takes a stroll through Bucharest armed with an envelope of enough strychnine to do the deed, but a bolt of lightening surges through the sky, hitting his body. After he is taken to the hospital, doctors do not expect him to recover. When one doctor voices...

The hostess of the Ames house party, Andi Smith, was a former independent who twice voted for President Bush. She switched her registration to support Obama and claims...
...nebulous threat of Islamic extremism? The global state of affairs continues to demand clandestine activity and the classification of information, but the over-stepping exemplified by this episode only undermines the legitimacy of the CIA as a protective service. Instead, it makes the CIA appear renegade, reckless, and intent on doing harm to both its own image and that of the United States. Cultivating global sympathy becomes a much trickier task when the government’s own agents betray our ideals and then escape censure by destroying the evidence. If the American electorate is plagued with apathy and ignorance...
