Glickman cautions on farm bill tax shelter idea
Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman warned that a tax-deferred farm income shelter could help farmers only in positive cash-flow years, calling it not a quick fix for current woes. The Grassley-Baucus FARRM proposal would let up to 20 percent of income go to tax-deferred accounts for up to five years, with taxes due when withdrawn.

New Beetle recall eases fears after debut hype
Volkswagen recalls all 10,000 New Beetles sold in North America to fix wiring risking engine fires. Repairs take under an hour and will be free to owners, with VW covering costs. The recall affects about 8,500 US and 1,600 Canada sales, and VW has notified owners by express mail with a toll free line and outreach to ensure quick, smooth service. Analysts say the move should not dampen demand and may require extra goodwill to satisfy early buyers.
