...most real people drive. As a result fuel-economy ratings have dropped about 12% for city driving and about 8% for highway driving. When the new tests kicked in, a 2006 Toyota Prius, for instance, went from having a 55 m.p.g. combined efficiency rating to 46 m.p.g. - overnight...
...President-elect Obama speak on Tuesday. I was involved in the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, and I'm certainly mindful of the whole history of the African American struggle for equality.

During the 2004 presidential election, the state topped the nation in 18- to 24-year-old voters showing up at the polls, and nearly 90,000 new 18- to 29-year-olds have registered in the state. Young activists literally overnight put placards around the University of Minnesota campus with Obama and get-out-the vote signs. As early as 7 a.m. car horns incessantly honked as the activists waved signs and danced on University Ave., the main thoroughfare on campus...
