...institution revered for the quality of its output, a global role model for public-service broadcasting, the backbone and guardian of British life--"monolithic and ingrained into our culture," in Greenslade's words--suddenly seem so vulnerable? One source of the BBC's problems can be seen on EastEnders: only 9 million viewers tuned in to the finale of the hostage plotline--far shy of EastEnders' record episode in 1986, when more than 30 million watched nothing more dramatic than the marital breakdown of a pub owner and his barmaid wife...
...economic torture rack during the 20th century between socially negligent capitalism and fiscally profligate populism. But today they lead a potent common market, Mercosur. (Chile is an associate member.) And while each has a leftist President--Chile's Michelle Bachelet is also a socialist--the ABCs are spelling a model, "pragmatic socialism," says Jerry Haar, an international-business professor at Florida International University in Miami and a co-author of Can Latin America Compete?

...were to create a model for Globalization Man, he'd look a lot like Francois Woo.

Should the new-style head of state, an Australian President, be appointed by Parliament? Or elected in a national campaign, in the American manner? The A.R.M. wanted the former, but Australians hated the idea of an American-style republic--or American-style anything--in their public life. This split the republican vote, to the boundless relief of the monarchists, who could never have carried the issue on their own. (Pollsters thought...
...situation—the matter at hand is finding a solution to the problem of illegal immigration. Those who deal with the realities of immigration on a day-to-day basis, like governors of the border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California should be the model for how we approach the issue. It’s no coincidence that they all oppose the border wall, and yet two are Democrats and two Republicans. Despite dissimilar political ideologies, they all understand that a wall is not the solution...
