Carson's 30-year run inspired emulators from Joan Rivers to Chevy Chase, and his 1992 retirement prompted a bitter succession war between David Letterman, the sardonic host of NBC's Late Night, and Leno, a comedian. The network's choice of Leno prompted a round of musical chairs in which Letterman defected to CBS, making room for O'Brien--a gawky comedy writer with almost no on-air experience--to take over Late Night. While O'Brien moves to the top spot this month, Leno isn't going anywhere: he'll create a new 10 p.m. talk show...

Klaus' track record shows that he is capable of fighting his crusades to the bitter end, to which Petr Langer's story bears testimony. In 2005, Klaus, who as president installs all of the country's judges, refused to appoint 32 judges, including Langer, saying they were too young. But Klaus' decision at the time had no ground in legislation and Langer, now 31, sued the head of state. The courts have since ruled in Langer's favor, but the president, who can't be punished for anything other than treason, has so far refused to install...
