...Nano shortage notwithstanding, Tata Motors has demonstrated there is a market for the low-priced car, which has four doors and a 33-horsepower, 634cc engine located in the rear, Volkswagen Beetle style. "The Nano has shown how a new product at the right price can change the rules of the game," says SIAM's Chenoy...
...launch a 660cc car for the domestic market but did not divulge the car's price. Renault, Toyota and Hyundai are also developing small cars for the low end of the Indian market, now defined by the Nano. Volkswagen is believed to have plans for a two-door, rear-engine car.

Jiverly Wong was unknown and unremarkable in life. Had he gone quietly like Cory, he would have died unnoticed--evidently a fate too much to bear. Instead, he blocked the rear exit of an immigrant center in Binghamton, N.Y., and walked with guns drawn through the front door. Thirteen people died to create Wong's illusion of importance. Or maybe illusion is the wrong word, for he certainly made himself important to them...
