...charismatic defensive end (Reggie White) and a throwback quarterback (Brett Favre) who has learned to confine his swashbuckling to the field, the Packers are ready to do the Lambeau Leap into the nation's heart. Their 35-14 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday on the "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field put them on a collision course to meet their natural rivals, America's Most Wanted, in the N.F.C. Championship Game next Sunday. (The defending Super Bowl champion Cowboys played the arriviste Carolina Panthers Sunday as TIME went to press...
...Packers are also the romantic's Dream Team. It's a Wonderful Life gets mentioned in Green Bay stories almost as often as "frozen tundra" and "Titletown, U.S.A." do.

Traditionally, Toyota has done best in cities and on the coasts, selling Corollas and Camrys to baby boomers and Lexuses to well-off urbanites. On the West Coast, Toyota's share is 16%, double its share in the Midwest and the South. Yet Toyota can no longer count...

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.
