...season story arc planned out in advance. Now shows like The Wire or Lost are doing the same thing. Are you happy with the show's legacy?We really opened the doors for a lot of shows that followed, creating the notion of a multi-year arc, which really hadn't been done before. You always used to hit the reset button at the end of an episode, because there was a sense that audiences couldn't follow stories across four episodes, let alone four years. We sort of proved that they could...
...same sweet premium they would have, say, a year ago for the right to attach their name to one of these new venues? Very doubtful. AIG, the embattled insurance giant, has sponsored the U.S. Davis Cup team since 1999, an agreement that ends this year: if the company hadn't floundered, odds are it would have renewed the deal.

McCain was correct when he argued that Obama's aversion to drama led him to snuggle a bit too close to the Democratic Party's orthodoxy. But one of the more remarkable spectacles of the 2008 election - unprecedented...
...gosh, he could have done it better this way, or that way. You know, I just ... I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer, but it hadn't yet ... I hope I ... I don't want to sound like I've made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't ... you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with...
