Yesterday, an ABC news producer for Sam Donaldson was shot by a sniper, while covering the violence in Yugoslavia. There was no room for him in the tank in which Sam "Nasty Boy" Donaldson sat, well-protected and well-paid. Is there a point to this? Maybe. Should the on-air "personality" be more well protected than the producer, who, after all, did the REAL work necessary to prepare any and all news stories originating from that location? I mean, is Sam Donaldson really irreplaceable, or could ABC, for instance, just subject Corkie Roberts to 72 hours of continuous sleep deprivation, poke her with sharp sticks an hour before broadcast time and then loose her on polite company and achieve the same effect? -- MANDOCK,R.
