...vision was to merge the two companies into a single holding that would create substantial economies of scale and enable Porsche to avoid being penalized under new European rules governing auto emissions and fuel consumption standards; by being part of the bigger VW group with its range of low-emission, fuel efficient cars, Porsche's sports cars wouldn't stand out, Wiedeking reasoned...
...paths: one that feeds the soul and one that feeds the bank account. Rarely do the two meet. As a result, the average college grad - who leaves school with about $23,000 in student-loan debt - either slogs along during those first few work years in satisfying (yet typically low-paying) jobs or makes a play for grinding corporate gigs that pay the bills and deaden the heart...

Pumped-up soldiers stand on every corner, backed by humvees and low-flying helicopters. In the heat of the afternoon, groups of young men gather on street corners burning tires and smashing windows before troops hit back with baton charges and tear gas. Then as darkness descends, everyone rushes to their homes to beat curfews that last through the night. (Read about...
