Stephen Wills is not pleased with UNM’s anti-smoking policy, and he let the UNM Smoke-Free Environment Committee know it at their meeting on Wednesday.

“My grades dropped because of this,” he told the committee at an emergency meeting.

The meeting was organized to discuss the Northrop Hall smok-ing area, which faculty say is sending smoke into the building itself. The committee will meet again on Oct. 7.

Wills said he loses study time to walk to and from the desig-nated smoking areas. He lives on campus and studies outside the Student Residence Commons halls, which makes it difficult to access the smoking areas quickly, he said.

“What I would like to see — and I know this has happened in the past — is an exemption,” Wills said.

He said that when smoking was banned inside the buildings

on campus, the residence halls remained smoking areas for two years. He wants to see a similar policy to allow students to smoke outside the residence halls for a period of time. He said it would also work to create more smoking areas close to the residence halls.

Pug Burge, head of the com-mittee, said she had a reason for not creating a lot of smoking areas.

“We were very cautious about creating too many smoking areas, because we knew that if we gave out too many designated areas, it would be difficult to take them back,” she said.

Wills said he feels he should be allowed to smoke close to his home, since he pays rent to live in the residence halls.

“The problem is ... to me, this committee and this school are pushing their beliefs and their rights onto me,” he said.

The committee thanked Wills for his feedback but did not com-mit to making any specific chang-es in the policy regarding resi-dence halls.

The committee met to fine-tune several contested aspects of UNM’s smoke-free campus policy. They also discussed mov-ing the smoking area at Northrop Hall, creating a designated smok-ing area for patrons of events at Popejoy Hall and creating an exemption allowing people to smoke at tailgate parties.

John Geissman, earth and planetary sciences department chairman, came to the meeting to advocate moving the Northrop smoking location. He presented a petition with close to 100 sig-natures from people who feel the smoking area should be moved.

Geissman walked with the committee to spots around cam-pus to pick a new location. The committee did not make a final decision on where the smoking area from Northrop would go, but they did identify several possibil-ities. Their preferred location is on the north side of Popejoy Hall, across from the SUB. The other spots are on the walkway south of Northrop and across from Wood-ward Hall.

The committee also talked about creating an exemption from the normal smoking rules for per-formers and patrons of Popejoy Hall during special events.

Jerry Davis, representing Pope-joy at the meeting, said it would show respect for the performers to allow them to smoke.

“We’re dealing with, in many cases, foreign cultures,” he said. “Like, I’ll throw the example out of Russian ballet dancers, who smoke fiendishly, you might say.”

The committee did not reach a decision on whether to create a new smoking area for Popejoy.

Another topic of discussion was the possibility of allow-ing smoking at tailgating events, which would allow smoking at the entire tailgate area instead of having a separate smoking area at the events. The committee did not decide whether to create the area or not.

The committee is planning to remove all smoking areas on cam-pus within five years. Burge said she hopes that by then students will be prepared for the change.

� e number of national schol-ars at UNM has more than doubled each year since 2007, according to the UNM Admissions O� ce.

� ere are 77 national scholars enrolled at UNM, which is up from 38 in 2008 and 14 in 2007. “National scholars” is an umbrella term that covers National Merit Scholars, Na-tional Hispanic Recognition Schol-ars, National Achievement Schol-ars and National American Indian Scholars.

� ese scholarships are awarded based on a combination of the prac-tice SAT/National Merit Scholar-ship Qualifying Test score and high school academic performance. � e National American Indian Scholars use the ACT as their standardized test.

In fall of 2008, the UNM Presi-dent’s O� ce set up the National Scholars Scholarship, which gives $13,875 per year to national schol-ars. For in-state students, the av-erage cost of attendance is almost $13,000, and it’s almost $24,000 for non-residents.

On top of o� ering the scholar-ship, UNM follows “an aggressive communication plan that includes professional graphics and targeted messages in e-mail, letters and post cards (to recruit national scholars),” said Corine Gonzales, associate di-rector of Admissions.

UNM President David Schmid-ly and his administration have said national scholars are coveted stu-dents for the University.

“UNM’s goals for enrollment management — recruiting greater numbers of National Scholars and graduate students — are important ones, not only in meeting state fund-ing formulas but also in ful� lling our unique role as part of a higher edu-cational system,” Schmidly wrote in a June 6 guest column in the Albu-querque Journal.

� e credit hours that nation-al scholars take are factored into UNM’s state funding calculations. National scholars also tend to bring higher participation in classrooms, Gonzales said.

Zach Gillooly, a freshman and National Merit Scholar, said UNM’s recruiting campaign showed him that the University values students who worked hard in high school.

“UNM was also the only school that corresponded frequently with me about scholarships and reasons to attend,” Gillooly said. “� e schol-arship o� ce worked diligently to get me to come to UNM.”

In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Po-land during World War II, more than two weeks after Nazi Germany had launched its assault.

In 1944, during World War II, Allied paratroopers launched Operation Market Garden, landing behind German lines in the Netherlands. (After initial success, the Allies were beaten back by the Germans.)

In 1948, the United Nations media-tor for Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte, was assassinated in Jerusalem by Jewish extremists.

Ismael Francisco / AP PhotoCuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez speaks about Cuba’s annual report on the effects of the U.S. trade embargo during a press conference in Havana on Wednesday. Cuba won’t take any political or policy steps to improve relations with the U.S. and is demanding Washington lift its 47-year-old trade embargo without waiting for anything in return.

Negotiating with Cuba proves difficultby Will Weissert

The Associated Press

HAVANA — Cuba will not make any political or policy concessions to improve relations with the U.S. — no matter how small, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said Wednesday, snubbing Washington’s suggestions that some reforms could lead to bet-ter ties.

He told a news conference that the United States must lift its 47-year-old trade embargo without waiting for anything in return.

Rodriguez said U.S. trade sanctions

have cost the island $96 billion in eco-nomic damage since they took their current form in February 1962 as part of the Trading with the Enemy Act.

“The policy is unilateral and should be lifted unilaterally,” Rodriguez said.

He called President Obama “well-intentioned and intelligent” and said that his administration has adopted a “modern, less aggressive” stance to-ward the island.

But Rodriguez shrugged off the White House’s April decision to lift re-strictions on Cuban-Americans who want to visit or send money to relatives in this country, saying those changes

simply undid a tightening of the em-bargo imposed by President George W. Bush.

“Obama was a president elected on a platform of change. Where are the changes in the blockade against Cuba?” Rodriguez asked. Cuban of-ficials have for decades character-ized American trade sanctions as a blockade.

Obama has suggested it may be time for a new era in relations with Cuba, but has also said he will not con-sider lifting the embargo. On Monday, he signed a measure formally extend-ing the policy for one year.

Editor,I sympathize with people who can’t a� ord

health insurance, and I agree that health care costs are too high, but that is only a symptom of a much bigger problem. We live in a society

that � nancially punishes people who try to be healthy.

It costs anywhere from $2.50 to $4 for a nu-tritious Odwalla drink as opposed to $4 for a 12-pack of soda. � ere is not a single healthy res-taurant with prices comparable to McDonald’s dollar menu. As for exercise, some people pay for gym memberships plus tax to workout while others sit and watch basic television for free.

� e government needs to tax fast food and

energy drinks like they do with cigarettes. � ey also need to provide tax incentives for compa-nies that provide wholesome products. If it be-comes cheaper to do healthy things than to live out our current self-destructive tendencies, de-pendence on health care will decrease. � e in-surance problem will be solved.

Casey EchternachtUNM student

Editor,� e debate involving the observance of

Veterans Day is absurd and irrational. Honoring our veterans, on their day of na-

tional recognition, is a simple way we can give back to the brave men and women who have served and are currently serving our military.

Denying our veterans recognition on their na-tional holiday is dishonorable and unbecom-ing of ASUNM.

� e service of the men and women in our armed forces has been vital in preserving the freedoms we enjoy as American citizens. Our country is forever indebted to our veterans for their courage, their exemplary service and their sel� ess sacri� ces that continue to in-spire us today.

Honoring our veterans is not a Democratic or Republican ideal; it is an American ideal.

� at is why College Democrats and College Republicans are committed to making sure that UNM does more for those who put their lives on the line to defend our country. We proudly support the resolution that supports and honors our Veterans.

Editor,I cringe every time someone sneezes.

I sit anywhere — in class, the commons in Dane Smith, even outside on this gorgeous campus — and it always seems that all around me people are sneezing and cough-ing, causing their germs to spread through-out the area.

As a general rule of thumb in a closed

room, like a classroom, those germs are still prevalent within the air that we, your class-mates, breath.

I guess you can’t get everyone to comply with the best practices. And please note, the best practices are not any guarantee of non-exposure. But I would suggest that the UNM medical staff provide face masks in all build-ings for those of us who want to avoid the germs and for those who are doing the dirty deeds. This would greatly reduce breathing in classmates’ germs.

Secondly, some kind of antibacteri-al hand wash should be made available at

classroom entrances, with a strong request that everyone use it prior to entering.

Even sitting at a desk after a previous stu-dent is precarious. Something has to be said for online classes. This H1N1 virus is a kill-er and we, as a people, aren’t taking it seri-ously enough. Think of others before sneez-ing or coughing around campus. Stay home if you don’t feel well. Your professors will generally understand and work with you on your attendance. Thank you.

In her Wednesday letter to the editor, “New campus policy does not consider smokers’ rights, needs,” Mona Angel wrote that smokers deserve more respect and shouldn’t be forced into uncomfortable designated smoking ar-eas. Readers on DailyLobo.com responded:

by ‘� omas’Posted Wednesday“... Is there any reason on this earth to ac-

commodate any addict and their additions? What’s next, “Crack Rooms” for crack addicts? You smoke because you can’t quit. I have a limited amount of sympathy for you and draw the line at enabling you and your habit. ...”

by ‘Jennifer’Posted Wednesday“...I think my right to breathe fresh, clean

air is more important than a smoker’s right to do potential harm to themselves. I want to be healthy to raise my child, and who will do that if I die of secondhand smoke?...”

by ‘Mateo’Posted Wednesday“When you’re � nished persecuting the

smokers, stop and think of what the author of the article suggested: All of us should be careful of imposing rules that take away the rights/limit the choices of others. ... Who’s next? � ink it can’t or won’t happen to you? Just try and imagine how many people on this campus smoke. How much in� uence did they have? � ere are a lot of things that other peo-ple do that o� end me, but that doesn’t mean that I have the right to tell them they can’t live their life, or make their own lifestyle choices.”

by ‘dAMIAN’Posted Wednesday“I have a right not to smell � atulations

(farts). � ese can impair my thinking and cause me to be nauseated. We need to also ban farts on campus. What else? Where do we draw a line, cry babies?”

by ‘Annie Shank’Posted Wednesday“Passing gas vs. smoking. Apples vs. orang-

es, I say. First o� , you must also take respon-sibility on this. � at is, if you don’t want to be around a smoker, walk away! Your health is your own responsibility, not that of the ran-dom smoker. Of course smokers should re-spect the right of non-smokers not to breathe their smoke (which has already passed through their lungs and left the detritus you’re so worried about behind), but that does not mean your responsibility for your own health goes away. It’s all about respect, after all, and smokers deserve as much as you do. ...”

word out about the University, Gil-looly said the scholarship is what ul-timately tipped the scale in UNM’s favor.

“(UNM) is one of the few schools that I applied to that gives large monetary scholarships to students who became National Merit final-ists,” he said. “The other schools that I applied to, including Univer-sity of Pittsburgh and Oklahoma University, gave little or no mon-ey to Merit Scholars. I chose UNM

primarily because of the scholar-ship opportunity.”

Cassily Cobos, a national scholar, said the large scholarship opened her eyes to a university she would have otherwise overlooked.

“The scholarship was the only thing to do with (my decision to come to UNM),” she said. “I never would have thought about coming out here if the school hadn’t sent me an offer.”

The 114 national scholars

recruited by the University in the last two years are eligible for the schol-arship as long as they maintain a 3.2 grade point average while taking 30 credit hours in their first year. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years, as long as scholars main-tain a 3.5 grade point average in fol-lowing years.

However, national scholars that started school before the new ad-ministration arrived in fall 2008 are not eligible for the scholarship.

Keith Srakocic / AP PhotoTerry Ketchum, left, the principal safety engineer at the Bayer Corporation U.S. headquarters, receives an injection against influenza in Robinson, Pa., on Friday. The initial doses of the new swine flu vaccine will only be given to young people, pregnant women and other high-risk groups.

county health departments and pharmacies — are expected to re-ceive doses. The federal govern-ment is covering the cost of the vac-cines and related supplies, said Tom Skinner of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A total of at least 195 million doses are expected through winter.

States will get a share based on their population. Their health de-partments must approve or reject re-quests from health providers and oth-er groups wanting the vaccine.

From California to Florida, states say they plan to make sure the initial vaccine supply goes to the 159 million people in the priority groups. Their rules vary slightly, but businesses are generally at the back of the line.

New York, for example, will only allow businesses with on-site medi-cal facilities to get the vaccine. Other states, like New Jersey and Texas, say businesses can hire medical provid-ers to administer shots, but only to staff in priority groups.

For many workers used to getting their seasonal flu shot free at the of-fice every fall, that’s frustrating.

Barclay, 56, head of emergency re-sponse for Bayer’s Pittsburgh campus, said Monday he’s gotten a seasonal flu shot every fall for more than a decade, and did so again last Friday.

Swine Flu from page 1

But for protection against swine flu, he’s planning to call his doctor — just as employers are telling their workers to do.

Most of Bayer’s 15,000 U.S. workers aren’t in high-risk groups, said spokesman Bryan Iams. So the company is providing information on swine flu symptoms and advis-ing workers to consult their doc-tor about vaccine availability, fol-low strict hygiene rules, stay home if they get sick and get the seasonal

flu vaccine as soon as possible.“There’s heightened interest in

getting (seasonal) flu shots,” more than at any time in at least 25 years, Iams said.

Other major corporations, from oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. to software maker Microsoft Corp. and grocery chain Kroger Co., are taking similar steps. Wheth-er companies will get any swine flu vaccine for their workers is generally unclear.

New Mexicans are seeing green: it’s chile roasting season.

Roasting season means business for farms and grocery stores as na-tives and visitors alike � ock to get their � x of the spicy pepper.

Lee Romero, who is one of three owners of the Fruit Basket stores in Albuquerque, enjoys the extra business.

� e green chile has been roast-ing since mid-August, and Romero said this year the harvest has been especially good because of addi-tional labor to help pick at the chile farms. Roasting season ends after all the green chile has turned red, been harvested and roasted, which is around the end of October, Rome-ro said.

Romero said he buys the major-ity of his green chile in Hatch, N.M.

“We buy mostly chile that’s grown in Hatch,“ Romero said. “We usually try and buy it from the same farmer every year because you know what you’re getting and you know where it comes from.”

Romero said that between the three stores, each day he and his

brother’s operations handle about 700 bags of chile, and each bag weighs between 30 and 40 pounds.

“We get a truck every day, and now we’re even getting fresh red chile, people like the roasted red chile quite a bit,” Romero said. “A lot of people buy it red and they’ll take it home and de-stem it and then boil it, put it in a blender and make a sauce out of it.”

Green chile is a big deal in New Mexico, and it’s popularity has grown to other parts of the coun-try. New Mexico is the top destina-tion to buy chile for out-of-town-ers, Romero said.

“We have people who come from Dallas and they’ll call us up and they’ll say ‘Hey, can we have 20 sacks roasted?’” Romero said. “They’ll come load it up and then go back to Texas.”

The Fruit Basket offers chile in varying colors and spice levels. They have mild, medium, hot and extra hot.

“We do get some out of Artesia, and the extra hot we try to get out of there because some people like that chile from Artesia,” Romero said. “Usually a mild or medium chile will have a lot more meat, it is bigger and thicker. The real

hot stuff has thinner skin and is thinner-meated.”

Student Travis Townsend said he likes to grow his own chile. He plants different varieties so he can pick and choose whichever chile he is in the mood for.

“I can definitely taste the differ-ence between my green chile and a store’s chile,” Townsend said. “It depends on what kinds of chile you’re eating. You can get Big Jims or Sandias. The Big Jims are usual-ly a little bit bigger and meatier.”

Townsend said he also roasts his chile himself.

“It’s something I got into with my dad because we always had a garden at my house,” he said. “The first thing I cooked on a grill was green chile around the age of nine.”

The actual chile roasting at the Fruit Basket only takes about three minutes in a large, rotating, bar-reled, green chile roaster, Romero said.

“Most people that (roast chile) at home, they’ll just roast it on a grill,” he said. “But you have to be real careful because they blister real easy. A lot of people like to get friends together and do a barbe-cue and roast a batch or so.”

Local Heat

I get mine from any grocery store I happen to be shop-ping at. El Patio is really close to campus and they have re-ally good green chile.

I like hot and medium green chile. And one of my favorite places to get a good hot green chile is probably Sadie’s.

I like to get my green chile from Albertson’s. I’m from Texas but I never had it as much as I did when I moved to New Mexico.

I buy my green chile from a guy up in Santa Fe who brings it in on a truck from Hatch. My favorite place to get green chile is at Tomasita’s in Santa Fe.

Guitar, flamenco and dramatic acting have been fused together in an unforgettable poetry presentation.

“Para que yo me llame Ángel González,” or “For me to be called Án-gel González,” premieres this Satur-day at the National Hispanic Cultural Center downtown.

Director Crawford MacCallum said it was natural to choose Spanish poet Ángel González as the subject for the performance because of his links to New Mexico.

“His style is kind of oblique, but he’s a very fine craftsman of words,” MacCullum said.

The play features poems about González’s life, and the pieces are

acted out by the theatre group Teatro Paraguas. Two of the actors also trans-lated González’s poems.

The poems in the show are either recited, expressed through a brief sketch or presented as a conversation between two characters, MacCullum said.

“First of all we try to work from memory as much as we can, and that makes a real difference,” he said. “I try to keep it flowing.”

González, who wrote during the Spanish Civil War, is famous for his poetry subtly critiquing the fascist regime.

“He was working in Franco’s dictatorship and he couldn’t write what he wanted to,” he said. “He was

There’s no whiting out Jay-Z’s in-delible mark on mankind.

After all, he is the “only rapper to rewrite history without a pen,” as he rapped in “Death of Autotune.”

Jay-Z’s new album, The Blueprint III, was released on Sept. 8.

Jay-Z is the self-proclaimed Si-natra of our day, but now he has as-cended to the low-oxygen levels of the stratosphere, surpassing every microphone fiend, dead or alive, that’s ever spit lyrical sonnets.

In my book, Jay-Z is more tal-ented than Biggie or 2Pac, though I know my opinion might be disputed by hardcore rap followers.

Just how influential is Jay? In this day and age, where gun-wielding labels legally rob from musicians, would Sinatra have the power, pres-tige and money to broker his release from a record deal? He couldn’t even do it back then. In fact, Co-lumbia Records dropped Sinatra in 1952.

On the other hand, Jay said, “I don’t get dropped. I drop the label,” alluding to his contract buyout with Def Jam Records.

Also consider Jay-Z’s unparal-leled success. The genre-altering icon has sold at least 476,000 cop-ies of The Blueprint III. Those num-bers are nothing to scoff at, consid-ering how the music industry has been victimized by a nation of eye-patched pirates milling around the computer to commandeer the next Jay song as soon as it’s leaked.

He’s also surpassed Elvis Presley for most No. 1 albums in Billboard 200 history, and he’s second only to The Beatles.

So, when Jay demonstratively bragged that he would, “crush Elvis in his blue suede shoes,” or that, for the umpteenth time, “this is Sina-tra at the opera,” I figured that was just Gray-Z flexing his 40-year-old muscles, fending off the naysayers who often claim that hip-hop is “no country for old men.”

But then I started listening more closely. Maybe Jay doesn’t just live

up to but actually outshines the aura and pop culture status of Sina-trian Legend.

Consider this —First rule of Sinatrian Legend:

You must be recognizable enough to be identified by one name.

Jay has several pseudonyms by which he calls himself.

Prerequisite two: You must have mob ties, literally or figuratively.

On what is considered the “grand diss” track of all time, Jay systemati-cally obliterated Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy when he performed “Take-over” at Summer Jam, showing pho-tos of a young Prodigy dressed up like Michael Jackson.

Prerequisite three: You must be associated with an influential politi-cal figure, as Sinatra was with John F. Kennedy, and/or take political stands.

Jay’s done both. He recorded a tribute, “History” to President Ba-rack Obama. He also took potshots at right-wing conservatives Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh in his

Jay-Z a legend in his own time

censored. He developed a sort of oblique ironic style, almost in code. His readers knew what he was talking about, but his sensors — he said they were blinded by their own ideology.”

All of the poems are presented in Spanish with the English translation projected on the side of the stage, MacCallum said. Some of the po-ems will be performed twice, once in Spanish and then in English. MacCal-lum, who translated most of the po-ems for the performance, said it was sometimes vexing to find the right words for González’s poems.

“He likes to use puns,” MacCallum said. “Sometimes you can get some-thing equivalent, but very often you get stuck. Sometimes you cannot get a point across and you lose it.”

MacCallum, a retired physicist and astronomy professor, said he was inspired to create dramatic poetry af-ter organizing a Pablo Neruda poetry reading five years ago with his actor friends.

“We weren’t just content reading the poems,” he said. “We had to act them out in costumes and do funny stuff and keep it flowing and make it a theatrical event instead of just a po-etry reading.”

All of the poems will also be ac-companied by Spanish-style guitar music played by Dan Briggs. Briggs said it’s challenging to combine musi-cal and poetic elements, but he usual-ly finds the right tune for each piece.

“I take the music off the imagery, what sound and what feeling that sug-gests to me,” he said.

A few of the poems also feature flamenco dance performed by Susan-nah Calzada Garrett. Her improvised dance is used to capture the ambi-ence of each poem and the guitar mu-sic, she said.

“You are creating images with dance,” she said. “So the images that are there in the poems come into the dance, so I find it an interface that’s pretty natural.”

Briggs said the combination of poetry, classical guitar and flamen-co dancing can be tricky, but starting with the right poet makes it easier.

“In this case, it’s the poetry of Án-gel González, but he’s very musical,” Briggs said. “His imagery and poet-ry suggest feelings, therefore tones, sounds.”

futuristic composition, “Off That.”Prerequisite four: Since no one

dares take your musical throne, you attempt to crush incendiary challengers or would-be trendset-ters. During the 50s, Sinatra vilified Elvis Presley’s thumping and pel-vis-thrusting. As it relates to Pres-ley, Sinatra said, “His kind of mu-sic is deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac.”

If nothing else, Jay shares Sina-tra’s myopic viewpoint on music,

evidenced by his rebuke of the hack-neyed and commonly overused auto-tune.

Prerequisite five: Most impor-tantly, you must rise to an echelon of timelessness.

No matter the generational gap, music lovers are enamored with Si-natra. That’s unlikely to change, lock-ing Sinatra forever in the time vault. So, there might only be one Sinatra, but remember, Jay-Z’s not gold-plat-ed. He’s certified platinum.

Leno’s new show has old materialby David Bauder

The associated press

The critics savaged Jay Leno’s prime-time experiment. Viewers gave it the biggest audience for an entertainment show since the “American Idol” finale in May.

What’s next is anybody’s guess.An estimated 18.4 million view-

ers sampled the first night of “The Jay Leno Show” Monday, Nielsen Media Research said. But the most hyped debut of the fall season had the added advantage of being pig-gybacked onto one of the coun-try’s biggest stories. Leno inter-viewed Kanye West about why he had interrupted Taylor Swift the night before on the MTV Video

Music Awards.The challenge will be holding

on to viewers. Leno’s variety show will air five nights a week at 10 p.m., a grand experiment for net-work television to see if NBC can build a profitable business com-peting with dramas on its network rivals.

“It’s great to launch this innova-tive new show with such strong ini-tial sampling, but we realize this is just one night and that we’re going to build our business in this time period with ratings that will lev-el out over time,” said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Televi-sion Entertainment. “Our focus is on developing a consistent come-dy viewing habit at 10 p.m. over the

long haul.”NBC executives had other rea-

sons to be cautious in their reac-tion. When Conan O’Brien debuted on the “Tonight” show last spring, NBC described him as the new king of late-night after one week of rat-ings, only to be embarrassed when O’Brien subsequently slipped be-hind David Letterman.

It’s tough to gauge how much impact West’s appearance had on the ratings. The show peaked in viewership during its second quar-ter-hour, during Jerry Seinfeld’s ap-pearance, Nielsen said. Only two other shows have drawn a larg-er prime-time audience since the summer months, NFL games that aired this past week, Nielsen said.
