...collar consumerism. Brilliant, cantankerous Henry Ford made the first mass-produced car, the Model T, and paid workers enough so they could afford to buy one. That makes great-grandson Bill industrial royalty: he comes from a competitive, dynastic clan that cannot be separated from the nameplate on your Mustang. But he also has a complex, even squishy side; he's a passionate environmentalist who has studied Buddhist philosophy and thinks a lot about the future of the world...
Coming up with exciting designs will be crucial to Ford's success. Until recently, with the exception of a new Mustang, an instant hit, Ford has failed to produce cars that have energized the market. Peter Horbury, the company's director of design and Volvo's former design chief, whom Ford brought to Detroit in 2004, was stunned by Ford Motor's rulebound ways.

A more assertive man-to-man defense clamped down on the Mustangs’ post game, as the Crimson forced 12 second-half turnovers and held SMU’s starting frontcourt to just four points after the break. Mustang forward Derrick Roberts—who compiled 10 first half points on 5-of-9 shooting—took just one shot in the second half...
...Freshman forward Evan Harris got well acquainted with SMU’s wood floor on Wednesday, suffering several hard knocks at the hands of Mustang post players. Two different players—SMU’s Bamba Fall and Brian Morris—were whistled for flagrant fouls against Harris in the second half. The first foul left Harris wincing and nursing a sore knee, but he eventually stepped to the line and sank 1-of-2 free throws. Morris’ flagrant foul came with just 0:15 left in the game after Harris scored on a pretty finger...
