DVDS reward depth of appeal: the ability to get thousands to pay to watch something again. One reason there are so many cop dramas, for instance, is that their stories, which are resolved in an hour, sell better in reruns. Series like Alias and 24, which have deeply involving serial plots, are poor candidates for reruns, but they have committed fan bases willing...

The DPP expects to win over alienated voters from the KMT's bentuhua side who are disturbed by their party's histrionic reaction to the election. "The biggest beneficiary...

So seeing Tony Blair shake Gaddafi's hand last week in a ceremonial tent near Tripoli was a head-snapping diplomatic moment. But to Blair, the reward justified the awkwardness: after years of negotiations with London and Washington, Gaddafi has crated his nascent nuclear and chemical weapons programs. Moreover, he's no friend of al-Qaeda, which loathes his secular state, and is willing to share intelligence to bring it down. The idea that a pariah regime like...
