...They've made it into Europe alive. Five minutes later, the radar picks up another dinghy nearby with five more young men, and the drill is repeated. As the captain turns the Lambro toward shore, the 10 men are told to sit on the deck near four large hot-air vents to keep warm...
...world's largest military baby shower, there was no doubting the sincerity of Fayetteville's convictions. The North Carolina city that is home to both Fort Bragg and the Pope Air Force Base threw a party on Nov. 15 for a thousand new and expectant military moms--a baby boomlet prompted by the return since October 2007 of some 22,000 members of the 82nd Airborne from active duty in Iraq.

...Norway to New Zealand, South Africa to Saudi Arabia; its global audience stands somewhere near 500 million. Almost two dozen local editions of the Top Gear magazine - a best seller in Britain - appear on newsstands worldwide. And foreign versions of the program are next.

And rather than pay Clarkson and Wilman out of the cash that comes from TV licenses, BBC Worldwide last year took a stake in Bedder...
...That can often mean poking fun at cars the show disapproves of. And in markets where automakers' advertising dollars are welcomed (the BBC doesn't air ads in the U.K.), some worry that freedom could be compromised. In the U.S., "I don't think you could be quite as freewheeling with your opinions as you can on the BBC, because sponsors pay for the programs," talk-show host Jay Leno, a fan of the U.K. show who turned down the chance to front the American pilot, wrote in Britain's Sunday Times newspaper in March. Garvie swats away the suggestion...
