Adrian, thanks for the very interesting information.  It certainly seems that
Leica is not particularly well suited to such photojournalistic work as you
describe.  I am hopeful that there is enough of a market for Leica in the
arena of serious amateurs and pros who concentrate in other areas.  

The recent introduction of the several new M lenses is quite important to me
and I hope Leica can keep up the pace.  It would be a shame if they were to
disappear.  However, I suspect that if they really get into financial trouble
that Canon or someone else would buy them.  I wonder what the results would
be?
