		<description><![CDATA[I have a prediction: this whole Toyota mess is going to spawn a re-birth of vintage cars.
 
I have a friend who has a vintage Volkswagen Beetle. An original Veedub. It was made at the original Wolfsburg factory in Germany, has a carburetor and no pollution controls. It coughs, and wheezes. Despite the obvious fact that [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not the professional players that make it so—heck, many have come from the hoi polloi themselves and have in their own way given [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Roche stopped selling acne drug Accutane back in June 2009. But that was a decision made by that company—not the FDA. And, that decision was made (insert raised eyebrow here) for &#8220;business reasons&#8221;—not for any safety issues. Ahh, but here&#8217;s the thing&#8230; those &#8220;business reasons&#8221; included competition from generics. And guess what? You can [...]]]></description>
