...other hand, even Oprah isn't invincible. In the past five years, her ratings have fallen 35% - and 43% among adults 18-49. That's not a lot more than other talk shows, nor other daytime programs, but it means that she is not immune from the woes that plague lesser TV mortals. Without that big reliable pulpit in the public marketplace, how much power does Oprah wield? Does she have enough juice to convert most of her viewers to a cable channel?

He paused only to gently chastise - in English - the late arrival of a dignitary from the United Arab Emirates who then slunk to his chair in shame. Few in the audience were surprised by his pronouncements. They were, said Sima Samar, head of Afghanistan's human-rights commission, to be expected. "But a speech is not enough. We need action," Samar said. "We need to see if his promised reforms...
