...hype ultimately contribute to the Yugo's downfall? The Yugo was in part a victim of its own success - what goes up must come down. When everyone lined up to buy the car, Consumer Reports reviewed it, and when they panned it, the same press that had created the hype jumped on the bandwagon to say, Look...
Wonderland's Joan of Arc Screenwriter Linda Woolverton and Burton made two big changes to the text. One was to transform Carroll's episodic tale into an epic quest, based on the poem "Jabberwocky."

...have one hand tied behind them. Business-as-usual eleventh-hour incentives are off limits after the pointed backlash against a spate of clumsy sweetheart deals like the so-called Cornhusker Kickback given to Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson. That's why the reality for the Democratic Party - that they must all hang together on the health care vote or they will surely all be hung separately in the midterm elections - is at the center of the case the President is now making, both in public and (more intensely) behind the scenes...
