...record, says Buscher. "Light trucks are 7.5 years old. They haven't been that old for 10 years," he adds. In two years, says an industry economist, 35 million cars now on the road will be at least 10 years old. There's not enough duct tape in America to hold that much junk together. Even if they don't conk out, keeping these beaters going becomes an increasingly expensive proposition...
...concept of music as clinically-proven therapy is not as foreign as it might have once been. The fortune cookie wisdom of my grade school years, for instance, dictated that children weaned on classical music would grow up smarter. Playing an Antonio Vivaldi or Antonin Dvorák cassette tape while studying one’s times tables conferred A’s, so it went.

Just as the work sessions were about to begin, one member of each team was taken from the room and asked to perform a task that had nothing to do with the actual study. Those students were brought back in five minutes later and instructed to rejoin a group; some were...
...laboratory. We're sort of like the field application for those guys. We'd go and collect any evidence we can - dog tags, nameplates, paperwork. You would think that it'd be so simple, but it's not always so simple. Some guy could have a name tape on his blouse that says "Jackson," but you know when you're out in Iraq, clothes can sometimes be hard to come by, so sometimes you'd get a buddy loaning his shirt to another buddy, and that guy could get shot and pass away, and then the name...
