...with fewer people, a greater impact and higher standards. Quality is the key, whether it wears a suit and extracts the truth from politicians or spills out of a comedy character's absurdly tight latex outfit. Delivering quality programming is the only way the Corporation can bear out this claim by its deputy director general Byford: "The BBC is here to make the world a better place." It's down to Thompson, Byford and their beleaguered colleagues to ensure that the world continues to include a BBC that is more than a ghost of what it once...

Donahue took issue with the claim that Harvard had fewer lower-income students than most schools. “We are trying very hard to aggressively recruit talented students world-wide, regardless of their financial backgrounds,” she said.

True to form, Asians have the highest overall intermarriage rates in the nation...
...myths attending the secretive order have less to do with their financial empire than with their most famous piece of real estate. Who knew what wonders they might have unearthed digging beneath the Mosque to the alleged Temple of Solomon, not far from where Christ was crucified? They claimed to own a piece of the True Cross; they may very well have possessed the Shroud of Turin, since it was a Templar descendant's family that first made it public; and unsubstantiated rumor has put them in possession of both the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail...
