...manufacturer that employs 750 people in Poland and Ukraine, agrees that Civic Platform "has a better program" for business. He wants government off his back: "I don't expect the government to help me with my business. I count on myself." Kaczynski is counting on voters still wanting a bigger role for government.

Last year--when, among other disappointments, Joey lost much of the Friends audience--it fell from first to fourth place in key advertising demographics.

UPN, meanwhile, has unsubtly telegraphed its hopes for Chris. It will run Thursdays...
