• [F]or the most part football these days is the opium of the people, not to speak of their crack cocaine. Its icon is the impeccably Tory, slavishly conformist Beckham. The Reds are no longer the Bolsheviks. Nobody serious about political change can shirk the fact that the game has to be abolished. And any political outfit that tried it on would have about as much chance of power as the chief executive of BP has in taking over from Oprah Winfrey.

  Terry Eagleton

• Si General Motors, Ford y Chrysler obtienen el rescate que sus jefes ejecutivos pidieron ayer, ya pueden despedirse de la industria automovilística estadounidense. No será de la noche a la mañana, pero su desaparición estará prácticamente garantizada. Sin ese rescate, Detroit tendrá que reestructurarse drásticamente. Con él, los fabricantes de automóviles mantendrán el rumbo: el rumbo suicida de cuotas de mercado decrecientes, cargas laborales y de jubilación insuperables, atrofia tecnológica, inferioridad de producto y pérdidas de empleo interminables. Detroit necesita un cambio de rumbo, no un cheque.
