In his column about GM's Hummer problem Eric Peters writes, "(Toyota)... is literally swimming in black ink." I seriously doubt that they drained the corporate swimming pool and re-filled it with ink of any color for a refreshing noontime dip at Toyota headquarters. There's "literally" and "figuratively" and it pays to know the difference.

As for the Hummer, I hereby make this offer to one and all: sign over the clear title of your clean, low mileage H3 and I will give you cash. The first one to respond with a vehicle to my liking will receive $500 cash and I'll come pick it up anywhere in the lower 48 states. Second response gets $400 and you bring it to me. I will only take two of these gas hogs so hurry and make your offer. Mr. Peters says that soon driving H3's will be like driving the "modern-day equivalents of chocolate brown metallic, landau-roofed '68 Sedan de Villes circa 1975: ungainly relics of a time still within living memory but fading fast." You do NOT want that! Act now!

p>Hey, that reminds me, the same offer above applies to your fully-loaded Yukon Denali. But it must have fewer than 20,000 miles on the odometer. Literally. br> -- Terry Sautter br> Lake Wylie, South Carolina /p> p> SUPERHEROES br> Re: George Neumayr's Hollywood Heroes and Villains : /p>

Spike Lee's respectability since Do the Right Thing has been built on the theme that we can't forget the past and pretend it didn't happen. Indeed, Americans of all races must be confronted with the past so that racism can be "dealt with." Whatever else may be said, this is essentially a left-wing sentiment that leads to the notion that a top-down, inorganic rebuilding of society is necessary as the great mass of our fellow countrymen will do no such thing on their own. (The question whether such a project has any possibility of succeeding is left unaddressed. The project aims at a moral quest. Therefore it MUST be done.)
