...dump their Ford and Chevy pickups--the cowboy Cadillacs of the heartland--for a Toyota. Spending hours observing folks as they tailgated, hitched up horse trailers and hauled everything from plywood to goat sheds, the Japanese took copious notes, even if they still couldn't quite understand the American lovefest with the pickup. "There was a level of amazement," says Jim Press, chief operating officer of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A...

At a White House briefing with outside experts before the summit, Bush telegraphed an intense desire for his first encounter with Putin to go smoothly. In the first few months after taking office, Bush was under constant assault by European allies for his unilateralist foreign policy, including his snubbing of Moscow. Among the signs of disrespect: the ouster from the U.S. of 50 alleged Russian diplomat-spies in March 2001, the five-month delay before setting a first Bush-Putin meeting, and the threat...
