...series concept vehicle and promoted its "clean diesel" technology, which it plans to deploy in a model bound for the U.S. in 2008. Just about everyone promised more cars that can run on E85 ethanol/gasoline blend. Mazda even touted the use of recycled materials to make seats and other interior features. "People want to feel good about the choices they make. They want to know they're choosing material that's not going to harm the environment," said Franz von Holzhausen, director of design for Mazda North American Operations...
...celebrity chef Bobby Flay to introduce its all-new 2008 Town Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.

And Iraq's parliament was essentially dissolved in November, when Sadr's loyalists began a boycott at his behest in protest of Maliki's meeting with President Bush. As the White House crafts its new approach to Iraq, little of the government appears salvageable even in the eyes of leaders like Muttlag who are staking their careers, and sometimes their lives, on the eventual success of a civilian government. With so little material left to work with in Baghdad, many...
