Richard Sambrook, director of the BBC's global-news division, says the Internet channel "is forcing mainstream broadcasters to think what we can provide that they can't and to focus on our core values of objectivity and impartiality." That riles the denizens of Doughty Street, who claim the BBC has a liberal bias and are soliciting ideas for a campaign to stop the Beeb's taxpayer-funded subsidy. Not that Doughty Street is opposed to bias. "Do you know the problem with balance?" asks Dale. "It's boring." Quite a few Britons are starting to agree...
...core fan base for those shows consisted of working-class "Bowery boys" and "Bowery gals." Arising spontaneously in the '40s in New York City, they constituted the first American youth subculture, with distinctively over-the-top styles of dress and deportment and slang.

Understandably, any film following the “Lord of the Rings” might look to it for inspiration, due to its immense commercial...
...Currently, only one credit from a secondary field can double-count toward anything else: a concentration credit, a Core requirement, or a language citation. This means that students in multidisciplinary concentrations cannot get secondary field credit in any overlapping department. For example, Social Studies concentrators cannot apply to receive a secondary field in government, economics, sociology, history, or philosophy, even if they have taken the requisite set of courses...
