...essential issue moving forward is persuading a skeptical consumer base that its vehicles are worthy of consideration," says Jack Nerad, an analyst with Kelly Blue Book. "GM has lost at least a full generation of consumers, and it must not only solidify its base but gain new adherents," he says. Early indications are positive, says Nerad, but far from conclusive. "GM has demonstrated that it can do that with products like the Camaro," he says, "but it must do that with more than a few stand-out models...
...India’s economy to return to the 9 percent growth it enjoyed in the 2007 and 2008 fiscal years, liberalization must continue.

"I must say that, if there's a test for judicial temperament, you pass it with an A-plus-plus," Feinstein said to laughs from the crowd. "I want you to know that, because I wanted to respond, and my adrenaline was moving along. And you have just sat there, very quietly, and responded to questions that, in their very nature, are quite provocative. So I want to congratulate you about that...
