Big Agriculture and food companies are shelling out gobs of cash ahead of November's election to convince Californians to vote against a proposed law that would require businesses to label products that contain genetically modified organisms.

Chinese Company Sort-Of Buys Spyker, Will Build $250,000 Luxury SUV

Car Reviews - 2010 Car Reviews at CARandDRIVER.com - Car Buying ...

Just a year ago, a group of investors headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, bought Spyker. Today, the Dutch company that once called itself an automaker—sales are in the low double-digits, if that—announced the start of a joint venture with a former suitor for Saab, a Chinese carmaker called Youngman.
