WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama`s studied silence on the subject of Israel`s 10-day-old war against Palestinian Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip is only partly out of deference to the man who still has the big job for two more weeks.

Obama`s reserve is also a political calculation that saying nothing is the better of his unappealing options. At least it lets all sides think he`s ...

After a year in which U.S. auto sales tumbled 18 percent and GM had its worst year in nearly a half-century amid slack demand fueled by a terrible economic outlook and growing job worries, automakers are reluctant to predict when a recovery might occur.
