| New Ad Campaign Heralds Arrival of 'The Other MINI'
MINI zigged when it launched the hardtop model in 2002 and zagged with the convertible in 2004. So what does MINI do when it's already zigged and zagged? Easy, MINI zugs with the arrival of the all-new 2008 MINI Clubman. That's the core concept behind the "ZIG, ZAG, ZUG" advertising launch campaign, developed by Sausalito, California-based advertising agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP), that ushers in the newest addition to the MINI model line. .
Economical Hyundai Elantra PZEV is best value in midsize class
The Elantra GLS is a relatively inexpensive, high-quality car with a base price of $13,625. Compare that with base prices for the Ford Focus ($14,705), Honda Civic ($14,810), Suzuki SX4 ($14,770) or Toyota Corolla ($15,250). It was a good drive as test drives go. The Elantra GLS PZEV proved competent on Marin County's twisting, winding roads. Its handling was sure, albeit lacking the precision that some throttle jockeys demand in everything, including minivans. But drivers mindful and accepting of the fact that the Elantra is an economy car meant to be used as an economy car will find little to complain about with this one. It is the genuine article, much as the Miwok Indians who once lived in, loved and honored this place were genuine articles, real examples of how humans, if left to the better angels of their nature, could live in peace with their environment.

Bragging about millions of jobs his Administration created, he neglected to note that incomes stagnated for 80% of the workers in the country and ended in 2000, under the level of 1973, adjusted for inflation. A brainy White House assistant to Mr. Clinton told me in 1997 that the only real achievement his boss could take credit for was passage of legislation allowing 12 weeks family leave, without pay. There are changes both the Clinton Administration actively championed that further entrenched corporate power over our economy and government during the decade. He pushed through Congress the NAFTA and the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements that represented the greatest surrender in our history of local, state and national sovereignty to an autocratic, secretive system of transnational governance.
