...personal] help in times of crisis," says James Martin, a priest, editor at the Jesuit magazine America and author of the book My Life with the Saints. "It's human and we can't not do it." Martin points out that the Psalms - in many ways the Western model for all personal prayer - are full of such special pleading.

...weeks as GM Europe tries to adjust to falling demand for its cars. Opel was one of the first western firms to set up shop in Eisenach after the fall of the wall in 1989. The factory, which employs some 1,800 people, now produces GM's popular Corsa model for export around Europe and beyond.
