Since we're using the driver's license as a de facto national ID, Durbin argues, let's make it more reliable. As it stands, the chief requirement is that one knows how to drive. This is fine if the only intent is to ensure that someone behind the wheel has mastered turn signals, but it shouldn't be sufficient to get someone into a federal building, the Olympics or an airplane. All a terrorist needs to do is shop around for a lax state (Florida still doesn't require proof of permanent residency) or resort to a forger with...
...cruising along the New Jersey Turnpike with the music cranked up loud. We're in the middle of nowhere, but you'd never guess it from the crystal-clear reception on the radio. With a friend at the wheel, I'm flipping from Latin jazz to African pop to '80s hits, intent on finding the perfect station for our New Year's road trip to Washington, D.C.

With the exception of a pretty cheesy foam headliner, the CTS is finished more like a European car than an American one (read: the dashboard and door liners actually fit together without those yawning gaps). The wood on the top of the steering wheel is...wood. There aren't the bewildering array of buttons and switches that the Japanese taught Detroit to love. But there are some very useful, innovative touches, like the jog dial stereo volume knob on the steering wheel. The biggest problem I had: it took several days to figure...
