...light in his eyes had less to do with an affinity for any individual cog than with a passion for the whole American political machine. The truth is, Tim not only loved politics, he believed in it. He believed that politics could change the trajectory of people's lives. He was tough on elected officials in part because he wanted them to do good, to be pure of heart.

In the Spitzer case, reporters eventually tracked down his regular date, "Kristen," an aspiring singer with a MySpace page...

Even if Fambro succeeds, the impact on the market will be minimal. He hopes to sell 3,000 to 4,000 cars the first year; GM alone produces about 300,000 cars a month. Perhaps the Aptera will be used as part of a light-rail system where the commuter will hop into a small car waiting at the train station. Or perhaps the Aptera will serve as a model for cars of the future: lightweight, great gas mileage, and loaded with computer controls...
