The Wall Street Journal's cover from June 21, 2008, reporting as top news how the big three United States auto makers are facing a cash crunch because people are not buying trucks like they used to. Crude oil hovers around $136 a barrel as supplies of light, sweet crude dwindle and market speculators drive up the price in a game reminiscent of Enron's shenanigans in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
