...amazed that TIME's story made no mention of the Big Three's most obvious and most easily remedied failure: clueless marketing. Consider that GM, arguably the world's biggest car company, is worth far less today than Harley-Davidson, the world's fourth largest motorcycle maker. Dexter Ford, Manhattan Beach, California...

We have an additional responsibility to take care of the water we have as if our life depended on it.
