...vision for the BBC articulated by Thompson is that it will go on doing what it has been doing but with fewer people, a greater impact and higher standards. Quality is the key, whether it's straight news or comedy that spills out of a character's absurdly tight latex outfit. It's the only way the Beeb can bear out this claim by Byford: "The BBC is here to make the world a better place." Perhaps it has to start at home...

He argues that more lefties could mean...
...Copeland family is apparently leaning toward not replying to Grassley. TIME attempted several times to reach them without success, but their website asserts that "We operate our church in full compliance with IRS guidelines" and although "we respect the Committee's right to raise issues that could impact the public... we are required only to share our information with the Internal Revenue Service." Unlike some of the other ministries contacted, which posted financial statements or (in one case) a letter from the IRS testifying that it complied with code in 1985 and 1986), the KCM website appeared to make public...
