...details of Richardson's accident are sketchy, but what is known sounded benign - at first. She was taking a lesson on a beginner slope at the Mont Tremblant ski resort north of Montreal, with an instructor but without a helmet. She fell at the end of the lesson and struck her head, but was alert and conversational afterward and did not complain of any ill effects.

Americans are learning that the hard way because they can't afford new cars, but it is a lesson which is not likely to be unlearned. People are going to keep cars longer and fewer new cars are going to be sold. America's car companies are in a better position to refurbish or repair cars and trucks than local mechanics are.
