But seeing the &#8217;63 Sting Ray in the January 2010 issue of Motor Trend (&#8220;Archive&#8221; feature on last page) for some reason took me back to the day in spring 1975 (I was 11) when [...]]]></description>

		<title>GM&#8217;s Decline in Under 200 Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The story of how GM went from resisting the government for 50 years to begging it for a $50 billion bailout loan would be a great text book.
