...what's the game plan? Basically, make Ford look more like industry leader Toyota. Ford has steadily made progress in that regard: standardizing vehicle architectures across global brands; increasing the number of body styles built on the same platforms; cutting product-development times; and opening factories with flexible assembly lines. Mulally, who has studied Toyota's vaunted production system, says it's too soon to discuss changes: "The key will be being able to see that we're making progress and moving forward." It sounds mushy. But if Mulally can attach wings to Ford and get the company to soar...

Africans Americans, especially those with fairer skin, are sometimes referred to as obruni by Ghanaians. The term roughly translates as "white person" or "stranger," depending on whom you ask. The result is that African Americans who would like to think of Ghana as home sometimes get the cold shoulder. The government has started a campaign to get Ghanaians to use the term akwaaba anyemi--which means "welcome home, brother"--when talking to African Americans. Just fake the sincerity, in other...
