But at least now there will be room for some of the rest of us.

They will (grudgingly) follow the path of the Big Three American car companies. The “small” foreign manufacturers came ashore with clever, economical automobiles that actually addressed the needs of American drivers. It took near bankrupcy, but GM, Ford and Chrysler now produce cars that appeal to drivers. But they had to change. Big Pub will feel the heat and change, too. And there will be room for all.

I’m doing my best to hurry it along.

Wish I could say more, but I don’t want to jump the gun.
