There is fairly little overlap between Chrysler and Mercedes. In the U.S, Chrysler's product line pretty much tops out at $30,000. That's where Mercedes begins.

He never lost his cool. He knew he had to make certain plays in order for us to keep going. He was everything you'd expect out of a veteran quarterback. He just calms me. His effect on me is calming. He did that for me in 1998, and he's done that here as well. There's always that sense of, 'You know what? We're OK. We're going to be OK.' It's not a lack of urgency by any stretch.

Ironically, with all this strength, the net effect of these data on the fourth-quarter GDP number could be flat or possibly even marginally negative.

Pinatubo's effect shows up in the models, but doesn't last as long.

Patience is drawing on underlying forces, it is powerfully positive, though to a natural view it looks like just sitting it out. How would I persist against positive eroding forces if I were not drawing on invisible forces?

But the patient person himself does not enjoy it.

I think the biggest thing is the familiarity and special comfort you have playing in your own stadium.
