...says. Mike DiGiovanni, GM's general director of market analysis, says the present economic numbers suggest that a modest improvement in economic conditions is under way but that it's still very fragile and could use more stimulus. GM's lawyers warned in bankruptcy court that the company might have to start the liquidation process by mid-July if it is not guaranteed an exit from bankruptcy in the next 30 to 60 days. (On July 5, Judge Robert Gerber of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved the sale of GM's assets...
...from conspicuous consumption. At the string of big-box retailers north of town, a few miles before city streets fall away and the horizon takes over, shoppers leaving Kohl's and Best Buy and Shoe Carnival are carrying bags - but not huge ones. In plenty of other places, that might be a sign of cutting back. Here in Bismarck, though, moderation is business as usual.

...become the Book of Prophesies by a cult whose leader, known only as Friend, takes power many years later. The special effects are rudimentary, but the churning of plot, and the richness of character and detail, keep you glued. One prophesy - that "The satanic salesmen will destroy the world" - might have referred to the Wall Street sharpies who crippled the world economy last fall, after the first two movies were made...
...world-class national cinema, you'd think the South's biggest political problem was the repression of its own postwar decades. In the 1970s its film industry produced a number of anti-Communist films; Dachimawa Lee is a parody of these gung-ho, better-dead-than-Red melodramas. That might register only as more grousing from the artistic Left, if the movie weren't so wildly and encyclopedically entertaining - a sendup and evocation of spy movies, with some great martial-arts moves. Start to finish, it packs plenty more punch than one of Kim Jong-il's sputtering Scuds...
