...three men and their show can claim an army of followers. The most popular program on BBC2 - the higher-browed of the Beeb's two main channels - Top Gear regularly pulls in more than 7 million viewers, roughly a quarter of all Britons watching TV during the program's Sunday-night slot. Chalk that up to the show's high speed and high production values: crazy challenges and outlandish races - an Aston Martin versus a train between England and Monte Carlo, for instance (the Aston won) - are, like the rest of the show, beautifully shot and edited...
...think you could be quite as freewheeling with your opinions as you can on the BBC, because sponsors pay for the programs," talk-show host Jay Leno, a fan of the U.K. show who turned down the chance to front the American pilot, wrote in Britain's Sunday Times newspaper in March.

In fact, since Obama resigned his seat on Sunday and Delaware Senator Joe Biden, the Vice President-elect, is unlikely to come to the Hill for votes, reaching the filibuster-proof 60-vote barrier is tougher than ever...
...enemies of Afghanistan, like Omar. Karzai's recent trips to both the U.S. and London, where the Afghan president was criticized for his inability to stabilize his country, crack down on corruption and stop the narcotics trade, may have precipitated the about-face, says Safi. "What he said [on Sunday] was not based on analysis but political survival. He knows he is losing support from Afghans and the international community, so instead he announced this in order to get support from Pashtuns in the south - those who want peace but support the Taliban...
