As he sees it, it's pointless to expect individual programs and channels to fulfill all public-service requirements, even though his own natural-history shows for the BBC, including the hugely popular Life on Earth, appear to meet every Reithian ideal. Attenborough shares the view of the BBC's top management that the broadcaster must continue to provide a spectrum of programming to ensure something for everyone.

Garel Rhys, emeritus professor of automotive economics at Cardiff Business School, applauds the company's performance since its acquisition by BMW: "You couldn't expect much better." And the company's future looks shinier than a well-buffed fender. In July, it rolled out the Drophead Coupe, a two-door convertible Phantom with a starting price of $407,000.
