Koppel, 43, has established himself as the thinking person's anchor on ABC's late-evening news show Nightline, which since March 1980 has built an average audience ranging from 5.1 million to 6.8 million viewers for discussions of issues as sensitive as child abuse and as complex as nuclear war games. Unlike the early-evening anchors, who help select stories but have little role in the coverage of most of them, Koppel controls almost every word that is spoken during Nightline.

There was a fellow named Harrison who led the U.S. Ping Pong team to China back in 1971, and Connie Chung, the NBC anchor whose parents and four sisters were born in China and who bravely tried her Chinese on Zhao, who bravely professed understanding.

The first nightly news show good enough to warrant reruns...
...actual moment when Marine officials arrived to report to his family that Corporal Timothy Giblin of North Providence, R.I., had been killed. First shown on the CBS Morning News, the sequence was replayed that evening on, among others, the CBS-owned station in Chicago. As the tape finished, Anchor Jacobson apologized: "I am sorry, that film should not have been shown. It was inappropriate." NBC chose not to air similar footage its crew shot at a Marine's home in California. Said Anchor Tom Brokaw: "We looked at it and said, 'That is a blatant intrusion...
