Analysts question whether Beijing Games are taking attention away from
charges of human rights abuses in China 
      NBC, the American television network broadcasting the Olympics in
the U.S., says its ratings have soared with these Beijing games.
Americans are watching the Beijing Olympics in record numbers and some
are getting a different look at China from what they often see on the
news. VOA-TV's Craig Fitzpatrick talked with some people in the
Washington area about their Olympics viewing habits and their
impressions of China. Chris Simkins narrates the story.
