...makers who have taken the first steps. BYD was already a major global battery producer, chiefly for mobile phones, when in 2003 it entered the car business by buying a defunct state-owned auto company. BYD proved a surprisingly quick study at automaking - its F3 sedan is a best seller in China, beating popular foreign brands - and now it has moved into electrics. The company is already selling the F3DM, a $22,000 Volt-style plug-in car with a backup gasoline-powered generator that recharges the battery, and it will begin selling an all-electric car in China...
...Wintour we meet is still capable of the kind of arbitrary intimidations that might inspire a damning best seller. But this empress definitely is wearing clothes. Flattering ones.

Jon Karp, the editor in chief and publisher of Twelve, edited the book. In a statement, he described working with Kennedy as "the greatest experience of my 20 years in the publishing business." (Karp declined an interview.) He said, "For the past two years, I've had the incredible opportunity of asking Senator Kennedy every question I could think of - and receiving answers that deepened my understanding of national politics...
...safe bet that Kennedy's memoir will soar to the top of the best-seller list, though in the wake of his death his political aides are considering how best to handle its marketing - with his family in mourning, they may turn to his Senate colleagues to give interviews about the book. Three other recent books about Kennedy - Last Lion: The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy, edited by Peter Canellos (Simon & Schuster); Ted Kennedy: The Dream That Never Died by Edward Klein (Crown); and Ted Kennedy: Scenes from an Epic Life by the Boston Globe (Simon & Schuster) are also...
