Opera on television in Europe...

Opera on television in Europe is very important. If you think about it in the broadest sense: a lot of the dramas made in India with music are practically operas. They're not sung but they have a very big appeal. I don't know why American television people are so stupid but at the moment, they just seem to have some sort of a block. They just do what they do and they do it for a certain number of years. Then it wears out and they try something else. It's just a matter of time I think.

It's the racial aspect of this that will make this tough for her. The public perception is that this is a one-side investigation, and that will detract from her efforts to clean things up. There's merit to many of her positions, and she's on track. But she's always derailed by the city's polarization.
