1. British Elections

From London, NPR's Michael Goldfarb profiles British billionaire Sir James Goldsmith, head of the Referendum Party. With Britons set to go to the polls May first, Goldsmith is spending millions to elect members of Parliament who will call for a referendum on England's participation in the European Union. Goldsmith, who's been compared to Ross Perot, is fervently against British integration into the Union.
