Compare and Contrast

While an Italian family-based industry takes over Chrysler and prepares an international relaunch of a major sector of the car industry, a United Kingdom government minister (though he is called a 'lord' so he's a very important person) crawls off to Berlin to beg for mercy for car assembly workers and offer state inducements to keep them employed.

Ineresting, Dearieme, that Dante associates slithering with gluttony.

I have a personal ranking for the Seven Deadlies, and my first is lies but my second is gluttony.

Need gluttony be for food; can it be for power?
