The Obama administration’s fuel efficiency standards are in jeopardy as automakers build more gas-guzzling light trucks, S.U.V.s and minivans.

The oil companies goal is to sell as much carbon as possible for as much profit as possible.

The auto companies goal is to sell iron for a big markup.

Judge Declines to Reopen Case Against Ex-President Kirchner of Argentina

A complaint filed by a prosecutor who later died in mysterious circumstances accused the former president of derailing an inquiry into a 1994 bombing.

"Judge Daniel Rafecas said Thursday that the new documents presented were not sufficient to reverse his decision last year to dismiss the complaint, reiterating his determination that there was no evidence of a crime. The ruling can be appealed by Gerardo Pollicita, the prosecutor who sought to revive the case.
Mr. Nisman died of a gunshot to the head days after filing the original criminal complaint, but it has not been established whether it was a suicide or murder."

There is a political fight.
