...more reason Toyota is promoting itself as an all-American brand. The last thing Toyota needs is a revival of protectionist consumer sentiment. Recent ads tout the number of U.S. jobs Toyota has created. The company also became the first foreign automaker to crack NASCAR, entering the Tundra last year in the Craftsman Truck Series, and as a NASCAR sponsor Toyota is beginning to get notice from fans. "Being a Chevy man all my life, I'm starting to look at the Toyotas coming out," said Jared Branan, 24, of Kissimmee, Fla., attending a race in Daytona Beach last January...
...represent a dangerous temptation. Already, feeling appears to be growing in favor of raising the tariff walls as a quick way to remedy at least some of the nation's economic ills. The catch is that while people give lip service to protectionist ideas, Yankelovich has found that the sentiment is very shallow, and people's enthusiasm fades when it is pointed out that higher tariffs may result in consumers' paying more for imported goods...

But Communist Party Leader Mikhail Gorbachev has been making his power felt, and last week, according to some reports in Moscow...
...film, Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird. Lots of our friends on Sesame Street helped me in the picture, and Mr. Snuffleupagus deserves an Oscar nomination for his sniffly farewell scene. I'm sure the other stars like Chevy Chase, John Candy and Sandra Bernhard join me in that sentiment. I think that with those little suggestions I made, the script really works now. I just loved the idea of me moving off to suburbia and then running away so that everyone would come chasing after me. By the way, don't believe those rumors that your old friend...
