To the Point
Chinese Company Keeps Hummer Brand Alive General Motors said yesterday it has reached a preliminary agreement for selling its Hummer , the big sport utility vehicles and pickups it was persuaded to build by Arnold Schwarzenegger. GM has marketed Hummers as being made in the same factory as the Humvees that carry American soldiers into battle. Today, it's reported that the new owner will be a machinery company in China, the Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industry Machinery Company. Alex Taylor is senior editor at Fortune magazine.

As the 70,000-seat stadium site takes shape, the city around it is anticipating big changes -- some welcome and some worrisome.

To the north, in Butte County, the Camp Fire has charred and destroyed even more acreage, of trees, brush and everything else, north of Sacramento, and the town of Paradise is a scene of utter devastation and heartbreak.
