- Cash for Clunkers Starts Today!
- Today the government rolls out the Car Allowance Rebate System CARS, fondly known as "cash for clunkers". The nickname is actually a misnomer, because when you participate, Uncle Sam does not mail you a check for a new car. Rather, if you trade a gas guzzler with 18 mpg or...

- Walter Cronkite: A Single Voice of the American Century
- When I walked through the CBS news room for the first time this past April, I was awestruck. I'll admit it--I'm not a jaded former investment adviser, I'm a delighted and recent convert to two "dying" industries:Â terrestrial news radio and network news. I find both to be amazing endeavors....

- Cash for Clunker Sequel: Dump the Pump
- Given the success of "Cash for Clunkers," the government will introduce a sequel that one observer called "Dollars for Dishwashers". That's not really the name, but it's better than "Clunkers, Part Deux". It's reported that Uncle Sam will fund a $300 million program via the stimulus plan...
