Balti-moreviolence: just give them a bit more room. Baltimore officers put on 12-hour shifts as violence esclates.

Auto: GM schedules additional plat downtime amid soft sales, inventory glut. Congress dawdles. August recess almost here, and at that point, the year is over, legislatively, for all practical matters. Oh, I already said that.
