...which pioneered the luxury segment in the U.S., is aggressively pushing to preserve its eroding lead. Last year the company rolled out the Cadillac Seville STS, which blends the raw power and agility reserved for its Chevrolet Corvette with a cabin as quiet as the best European and Japanese sedans. And in Detroit this week executives are introducing what they trumpet as "the future of Cadillac" in a concept car called Evoq, a two-seat roadster with a supercharged V-8 engine, boasting such features as a voice-activated navigation system and e-mail that flashes everything from news bulletins...

No one wants a glitzed-up tragedy, but when a show called Parade has three of them, and each takes place at the back of the stage mostly hidden by the onlooking crowd...
Tuesday, April 14 From Meg To: Tom I had a love affair with the word "twit" once. This lasted for years, long before I knew anyone that I know now.
