Nice column by Julia - hard times today do produce a bit of nostalgia for the good times when cars were churning off the assembly lines in Detroit. But don’t count out GM yet. This bankruptcy thing could be just what they need to become competitive and start making good cars again.

Yeah, that a was nice piece by Julia.
I just read Timothy Egan’s piece on the murder case in Italy. So troubling.
So is this comment posted below the story: “This is troublesome and makes me rethink my own plans for studying abroad.”
