...parallels? In the case of [Robert] Kearns, here's a guy being marginalized by the Ford Motor Company and subsequently is marginalizing his own family. I suppose, if you look at Little Miss Sunshine, there was a guy who was losing his way with his family over his pursuit of a 10 Steps deal. Characters that have a real strong identification to whatever they're trying to achieve in spite of whatever obstacles are in front of them are always engaging...

The raid inflamed anti-American sentiment across the nation, and in retaliation, a vital fuel...
...cast the U.S. as the pre-emptive invader. In asking Palin whether she agreed with the Bush Doctrine, he was actually asking whether she knew what it was. There followed a long pause. But when he asked specifically whether the U.S. had the right to invade Pakistan in pursuit of suspected terrorists, she didn't hold back. "In order to stop Islamic extremists, we must do whatever it takes; and we must not blink, Charlie, in making those tough decisions of where we go and even who we target...
