...Certainly, it's a perfect era for a car company that is green (it boasts zero-landfill production plants), safety-focused, and can deliver a fair amount of value and performance. In the snow belt regions of the Northeast and intermountain west, Subaru has long had a following because of its all-wheel-drive portfolio...
...combatting AIDS and malaria in Africa and distributing $16 billion in food aid. Framing the text are stats-laden info boxes, a bullet-pointed list of "100 Things Americans May Not Know" about their 43rd President's record and snapshots of Bush looking presidential (hoisting a bullhorn amid ground-zero wreckage, glad-handing troops and seniors). Chapter titles touting Bush's accomplishments--"Established the Freedom Agenda to Spread Hope Through Liberty"--read like handpicked epitaphs. History, as Bush likes to say, will be his judge, but it's worth reading this report if only as the closing argument before...
...Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's chief foreign policy architect and Erdogan's top adviser, summarized Turkey's new strategy as "zero problems with its neighbors."

...Because interest rates are at zero. We've injected all this money into the banking system and banks have lost so much capital that their inclination is to hoard capital. It's going to be very hard to get it out the other end. That happened in 1932.

...soldiers say they have already been cooperating with their Iraqi counterparts. "I think there is going to be zero difference between what we do now and Jan. 1 and beyond," said Lieut. Colonel John Vermeesch just before the end of 2008. Vermeesch commands some 880 U.S. combat troops spread across five joint Iraqi-U.S. bases in northwest Baghdad. He is one of the battalion commanders in the 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, a 4,000-troop force that arrived in Baghdad in mid-October to start a 12-month tour. They say they started complying with...
