Thu, 8 Dec 2005 16:00:00 EST Higher blood pressure means lower brain health

Brain catastrophes such as strokes or dementia are well-known consequences of high blood pressure in older people.

Thu, 8 Dec 2005 16:00:00 EST Detroit's really rocky road

It's getting hard to keep up with developments in Detroit, many of them unsettling. Ford recently announced plans to lay off as many as 30,000 factory workers over the next five years, matching the grim number General Motors put out just a couple weeks earlier. That's on top of a 10 percent cut in its salaried workforce Ford had already announced. In another surprising twist, GM has agreed to give Jerry York, who represents billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian, a board seat. Five months ago GM seemed completely blindsided when Kerkorian declared that he was buying up GM shares, a likely prelude to aggressive shareholder activism aimed at shaking up the auto giant, as Kerkorian did with Chrysler in the 1980s. GM quickly hired some of Wall Street's sharpest money men to figure out how to handle Kerkorian. The conclusion, evidently, was to give him a seat at the table.
