Now that we have Twitter, I don't much see the point in live-blogging events if your goal is simply to tell people what's happening, rather than why or what it means. The New York Times' Micheline Maynard live-blogged GM's third-quarter financial report today , but besides telling us what CEO Fritz Henderson said, or how he responded to this or that reporter's question, there isn't much that tells us the significance of the information dispensed. Maynard has been covering the auto industry for a long time

Chrysler and General Motors — understandably is hard work. Just ask John J. Rapisardi (left) and Stephen Karotkin, two of the lead lawyers on the G.M. case. During the most stressful points of the run-up to the automakers' bankruptcies, "we were sleeping on average 2 hours a night and working 7 days a week," Mr. Rapisardi, the co-head of restructuring at the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft , said in an interview earlier this month.

When it became apparent that the exchange offer would fail, everyone agreed that a 363 sale was the best way to get it out   -Stephen Karotkin
