Drivers of cars with bumper stickers, window decals, personalized license plates and other "territorial markers" not only get mad when someone cuts in their lane or is slow to respond to a changed traffic light, but they are far more likely than those who do not personalize their cars to use their vehicles to express rage -- by honking, tailgating and other aggressive behavior.

Who should succeed Tim Russert on 'Meet the Press'? Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:49:55 -0700

The media world is abuzz with speculation about who NBC will chose to replace the late Tim Russert on Meet the Press, which is not only an influential show that frequently makes news, but a substantial profit center for the network.

NBC has a deep roster and David Gregory, Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd seem to be the in-house frontrunners.

If I was NBC, I'd prevail on Tom Brokaw to come out of semi-retirement and host the show through the end of the year - or at least through the election - and then try to convince Ted Koppel to take the job permanently.

Gwen Ifill, host of Washington Week in Review on PBS, would also be an intriguing choice.
