That was only the start. Suppliers began making complete prefabricated front ends, back ends and middles of vehicles, and automakers began outsourcing the entire design, development and manufacture of certain car models like the Lincoln Navigator.

Congress became, in the words of a promising young political scientist at Johns Hopkins University, "the central and predominant power of the system": Woodrow Wilson went on to call his influential 1885 book Congressional Government.

Halfway into the show, one fratboy climbed onto the shoulders of his large friend and unrolled a sign beseeching, "NINA KISS ME." After ignoring him for several minutes...
...should come as no surprise that Chiquita's chairman, Carl Lindner, is a man whose calls to Washington are returned, and quickly. In the past few years, he and his family have contributed $3.9 million to the two major political parties, and Lindner has been a guest in the Lincoln Bedroom...
