Do America's Big Three Automakers Have a Future?

Toyota outsold Ford again last month.  The Big Three are not all American any more. Will a new contract give new life to General Motors, maybe to Ford and Chrysler as well? Will clean diesel make American cars more competitive? What about hybrids and global warming? Also, peace for Korea and death in Afghanistan.

Toyota outsold Ford again last month. The Big Three are not all American any more. Will a new contract give new life to General Motors, maybe to Ford and Chrysler as well? Will clean diesel make American cars more competitive? What about hybrids and global warming? Also, Korea's leaders call for peace and, on Reporter's Notebook, the shooting death of a Massachusetts soldier who told her family to demand an investigation if anything happened to her in Afghanistan.
