Automakers are scrambling for more small and fuel-efficient cars and hybrids as sales of once popular trucks and sport utility vehicles evaporate under the weight of rising fuel prices. "This was a watershed month," says Jim Farley, Ford Motor Co.'s group executive for marketing and sales, following news that the company suffered another huge drop in trucks sales in May.

Obama faces pressure to choose opponent Hillary Clinton, a tangle he'd rather avoid. Obama paused his nomination battle with...
...Servicemen's Readjustment Act (the policy's official name) offered a college scholarship to all those who had served in uniform, whether or not they had fought on the front lines. In the decades since, benefits have fallen far behind the cost of university tuitions, prompting Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel to draft a new GI Bill that would offer soldiers full tuition at any state school...
