...rare but gratifying moment. The arena rammed with music executives momentarily fell into a stunned silence. Then, the words: "And the 1999 Brit Award for best breakthrough act goes to: Belle and Sebastian" percolated through fogged brains, and noiseless shock gave way to intense chatter. Some questioned the result, but most just wanted to know, "Who the hell are Belle and Sebastian?" One exec thought they might be a firm of music lawyers.

From Pontiac, there is a two-tone macho minivan for suburbanites who still lust for the fast lane. From Saturn, the EV1, a noiseless, all-aluminum electric vehicle. From Cadillac, Catera, GM's first Euro-American entry, designed to take on such young luxury imports as the BMW-3s and Lexus ES300...
