you obviously didn't see "dr." anderson's yeoman "sexual healing"
series.  i think it may even win an award somewhere, like the one
won by the movie "plan 9 from outer space"!  so don't tell me about
not caring about the "vital" medical and health reporting on the
evening tabloid, er, i mean, tv news programs.

what i can't figure is why mary ann childers [am i the only one who
thinks that she looks like the woman who played the wicked witch of
the west in the movie "wizard of oz"; she must be great at halloween
parties] would forgo a position as a news anchor to become a reporter.
i mean, it seems like it's easier to "rip and read" newscopy, and i
think the pay is better too.  there must be an "inside" story on this.
does anyone have any g2?
