Other correspondents tapped their sources to gauge the response.

In short, Chrysler has been "bought" by Daimler-Benz. As a result, another great name in America's manufacturing history will gradually fade into oblivion. With only two American auto manufacturers left, we are at risk of losing the automobile industry, much as we have lost the consumer-electronics industry.
