Re: JFK Missing -- Coverage

["Bump Martin" <LJNF40C@prodigy.com>]

Who was that woman on CBS TV this morning?

I was listening to the TV feed on the radio....and the woman (was she from
the Sat Morn "This MOrning" show?) was sooo drippy with "America's Royal"
family....she sounded more like my mother than a reporter.......

This was right before and a little while after Dan Rather had arrived on the
air.

BTW...>What do folks think about Radio (WBZ in particular), running TV
audio?
