☆ Kissinger Should be Remembered for the Suffering He Caused - The New York Times

The chief architect of their agony was Henry Kissinger, once named the most admired man in America, who died on Wednesday at the age of 100. As secretary of state and national security adviser under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, Mr. Kissinger created U.S. war policy in Southeast Asia. His expansion and escalation of the Vietnam War into Cambodia killed, wounded or displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians. That legacy still reverberates, and not just in bombed and brutalized Cambodian villages. Another Times investigation that same year revealed that the air war in Iraq and Syria was marked by flawed intelligence and inaccurate targeting, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocents.

☆ Fact Check: SNP’s Westminster leader held his Remembrance Sunday wreath correctly

Comparison online of the way Britain’s party leaders held their poppy wreaths on Remembrance Sunday has sparked a false claim that the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) Westminster leader Stephen Flynn held his garland upside down. In an X post (archived) on Nov. 14, Flynn said his wreath was made by Lady Haig’s Poppy Factory in Edinburgh, Scotland. Lady Haig’s Poppy Factory told Reuters that the card was placed at the bottom of the wreath. There are also differences in the designs of poppies, the Scottish National War Memorial spokesperson said. Stephen Flynn held his wreath the correct way up on Remembrance Sunday, according to the wreath maker, who said the card was deliberately placed at the bottom.

TORONTO (AP) — When the Hollywood actors union announced a strike this summer, Cameron Bailey, the longtime chief executive of the Toronto International Film Festival, dusted off his COVID-19 playbook. “This is the nature of running a festival,” Bailey says. We support them, but we’ll miss them.”The dual strikes have already taken the spotlight at the Venice Film Festival. “I’ve loved movies since I was child and I’ve never been to a film festival before,” says Jefferson. “Even the idea that I’m going to a film festival with a film that I’ve directed feels surreal.

☆ U.S. auto dealer profits ease from 2022 peak, M&A drive stays high - report
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

In 2022, profits reached an estimated $6.5 million per location for dealerships owned by public auto retailers, more than triple of pre-pandemic levels, according to the report from Haig Partners, a buy-sell advisory firm to auto dealers. But dealers still expect profits to remain over twice as high as 2019, powering demand for acquisitions in the drive to expand, the report said. "The result of high profits and strong demand is that we have seen record-high prices being paid for dealerships in the last six months," Haig said. To hit those targets, the three auto dealers would together need $48.7 billion in revenue and purchases of nearly 500 dealerships, the report said. The Haig Report tracks trends in auto retail.

☆ The pandemic may have ended the auto industry's age-old battle for market share
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-16 | by ( Alexa St. John | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Automakers have spent decades battling each other for market share. Before COVID, automakers often treated market share as the key to their success. "Market share for market share's sake comes at a cost," Kristin Dziczek, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago policy advisor, said at the firm's annual auto insights symposium in Detroit. Dropping market share doesn't concern GM and FordHowever, the long-standing industry-leaders don't seem worried about growing market share for the likes of Hyundai and Tesla (at 10.6% and 3.8%, respectively, in 2022, per Kelley Blue Book) — and it might mean that the battle for market share is over. "There's going to be more of a focus on more of those high-profit-type vehicles," Stoddard said.

☆ Premaket stocks: Auto sales are falling — but profits are surging. Welcome to the new normal
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

New York CNN —The US auto industry just posted its worst sales in more than a decade — but that’s not necessarily a bad sign for the sector. What’s happening: 2022 was the worst year in more than a decade for the auto industry, largely because manufacturers couldn’t keep up with consumer demand. To put that into historical perspective, auto sales topped 17 million each year between 2015 and 2019, before Covid. But the auto industry saw sky-high profits even as sales plummeted. The auto industry has entered a new era: Less choice, higher prices and larger profit margins.

☆ The private-equity firm behind Italian soccer champs AC Milan is quietly building a financial services powerhouse

RedBird Capital is best known as the private-equity owner of soccer club AC Milan. But the sports dealmaker is quietly building a financial services arm to rival its flashier bets. RedBird Capital is one of the buzziest names in dealmaking when it comes to sports and Hollywood. In August, the New York City-based private equity firm bought soccer club AC Milan for $1.2 billion. The firm's philosophies for financial services and sports are one and the same: taking advantage of fragmented environments with firms that have long-term recurring cash flow.

☆ Electric vehicles confront the leap to the mass market
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-15 | by ( Joseph White | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Industry executives and forecasters do not agree on how rapidly electric vehicles could take over half the global vehicle market, let alone all of it. In China, the world's largest single automotive market, battery electric vehicles have captured about 21% of the market. By 2029, electric vehicles could account for a third of the North American market, and about 26% of vehicles produced worldwide, according to AutoForecast Solutions, a consultancy. Electric vehicle sales likely will not increase in a smooth, ever-ascending curve, said AFS President Joe McCabe. The next few years will determine whether the 21st Century's crop of electric vehicle brands will follow a similar path.

The manner of writing is captivating and adding the pictures to the end of the book, was the perfect way to end this autobiography. At the same time, the twists of the plot are merciless – the reader falls under the spell and into the trap. Although he begins his book by recalling how his mother threw him out of a minibus because of a racist, dangerous driver, he defines very well his relationship with her.
