 All in the Family   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Family patriarch and breadwinner Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) was a bigoted loading dock worker disturbed by the changes occurring in the American society he once knew.
As surely as Archie could be counted upon to be politically conservative and socially misguided, Mike was equally liberal and sensitive to the concerns of minorities and the oppressed, and, because both characters were extremely vocal in their viewpoints, heated conflict between the two was assured.
Archie's frequent diatribes laced with degrading racial and ethnic epithets, Mike and Gloria's obviously active sex life, the sounds of Archie's belching and of flushing toilets--all broke with sitcom convention.

 BBC NEWS | Politics | Interview: Archie Norman
And it was Mr Norman who, as deputy chairman under William Hague, enraged the Tory old guard by telling them their obsession with unfashionable causes such as Europe and immigration was turning off voters.
Far from bending in any direction that seems popular, as his critics claim, Mr Norman says "we are starting to see a pattern of the Cameron view of the world which has threads which knit it together".
Mr Norman's biggest political regret seems to be William Hague's decision to ditch his enthusiasm for modernising the party in favour of creating policies - on Europe and immigration - to please a small band of "cheerleaders" in the press.

 GMAT Reading Comprehension: Section 6: Passage 7 - European Retail Market
Their $8 million was nominally worth $200 million the next day, and when Norman said Knutsford intended to buy “undervalued retail operations”, private investors fought to purchase the company's few remaining available shares.
The value of Norman's investment skyrocketed due to this fact, and thus, (B) is the correct option.
No evidence in the passage suggests that Norman's association with Asda was enough to lure private investors, that he obtained $11 billion in cash from the sale of Asda, that retail operations are perceived as a very good investment or that Knutsford was likely to buy out the bigger retail outlets in Britain.
