...plans for the auto industry would win them few friends. One option the bondholders have is to try to seize the factories. But that would jeopardize the partsmakers too, and the banks are also holding the paper for many industry suppliers. If the factories shut down as a result of a legal battle, so would the partsmakers...
...result, more cars are being taken off the road than are being manufactured. There are 245 million to 250 million vehicles on the road in the U.S., and roughly 5% are scrapped every year. Even with improved vehicle quality, that ratio is not really budging. Stuff wears out. So some 12 million to 12.5 million vehicles disappear annually; yet this year, no more than 9 million are being built to replace them. Next year, production will be 10 million or so, still less than the removal rate...

After years under a ban, the Kurdish language is flowering, the result of European Union-mandated reforms introduced in 2006. In Silopi, the same store that once secretly sold bootleg Kurdish tapes is now plastered with pictures of budding Kurdish stars. Language courses in the unofficial regional capital Diyarbakir are packed, writers' groups have sprouted and at the local theater, young actors are staging the city's first ever...
