...major TV producers, such as Paramount, Columbia and Warner Bros. Huge signs feature talk-show hosts flashing blindingly white teeth and hopeful slogans such as "cleared in 80 percent of the country" ("cleared" means sold; loosely translated, the sign is challenging the other 20 percent to jump on the bandwagon.) Also looming are giant images of refurbished game shows from the '60s, complete with refurbished game show hosts. The three keys to making over an aging game show host seem to be a deep tan, heavy airbrushing round the jowls and removing that fuddy-duddy tie and sports coat...
...McCain believes the public is on his side. While he was making his announcement about Cochran's support, Republican Senators were hearing a briefing from pollster John Zogby, who argued that the best way for them to reach out to voters is to climb aboard the campaign-finance-reform bandwagon.

...special sauce" that made it so successful, P2P file sharing. Napster pioneered P2P as a workaround to the objections of the recording industry, which would have rather brought back disco than allow one Metallica track to be downloaded. Now that the industry has (belatedly) jumped on the musical broadband bandwagon, there's no reason for Napster to stay P2P. As users know, MP3's on Napster are often misidentified and of poor quality. If Napster distributed songs off its own servers, which it could do legitimately in the future, it could ensure their quality and reliability. Just months...
