GM bankruptcy shocks the nation amid government stake plan
The Monday bankruptcy filing by General Motors, once the world’s largest automaker, followed by a 60 percent U.S. government stake, signals a swift, two‑part restructuring aimed at a leaner, faster “new” GM within 60 to 90 days. The plan faces risks as Chrysler also retools with Fiat while Ford seeks private funding to compete.

Two murders mirror battles over life and death
The piece links the daylight killing of Army Pvt. William A. Long in Little Rock by Abdulhakim Muhammad to the Wichita church killing of Dr. George Tiller by Scott Roeder, framing both as tragic acts rooted in extremist violence, personal grievance, and attacks on political and religious liberty. It argues antiwar rhetoric did not cause Long’s murder, and condemns the broader pall cast on advocates for equal rights.
