Pictures taken during a commercial break in last night’s GOP debate at the Reagan Presidential Library document how Texas Governor Rick Perry attempted to physically intimidate Congressman Ron Paul, prompting Paul’s security to intervene.
Photographs published by the AP and Reuters show a stern looking Perry holding Paul’s wrist and waving a finger in his face.

Ford to build $1 billion plant, create 5,000 jobs in India
AFP - US auto giant Ford has started construction on a $1 billion manufacturing and engineering complex in India as it bets on the country to help drive global growth, a company statement said on Tuesday.
The new manufacturing facilities in Sanand in the western state of Gujarat will create 5,000 jobs, and will be able initially to produce 240,000 vehicles and 270,000 engines a year, Ford said.
The first vehicles and engines are due to come off the line in 2014.
The complex highlights the automaker's plan "to aggressively grow the Ford brand in India," said Ford India president Michael Boneham.
The new manufacturing facilities are targeted at helping Ford reach its goal of increasing worldwide sales by nearly 50 percent by the middle of the decade to eight million vehicles a year.
"We are aggressively expanding in markets around the world that have the most growth potential," said Joe Hinrichs, president of Ford Asia Pacific and Africa.

Postal Service could shut down by winter
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Postal Service, facing a deficit that will reach $9.2 billion this fiscal year, could be forced to close this winter, officials say.
"Our situation is extremely serious," Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe said in a New York Times article published Monday.
Donahoe has been advocating spending cutbacks recently that would eliminate Saturday mail delivery, close as many as 3,700 postal locations and result in layoffs of 120,000 employees, nearly 20 percent of the Postal Service's workforce.
The delivery service, which has no-layoff clauses with unions, faces higher costs, particularly for labor, which accounts for 80 percent of its expenses.
It also has seen revenue decline as the Internet has resulted in fewer people relying on traditional mail as they use other delivery companies, e-mail, pay bills online, and receive news and advertisements online.
"The situation is dire," said Sen. Thomas R. Carper, D-Del., chairman of the Senate subcommittee that oversees the Postal Service. "If we do nothing, if we don't react in a smart, appropriate way, the Postal Service could literally close later this year. That's not the kind of development we need to inject into a weak, uneven economic recovery."
