Donaldson is also to be seen, well prepared, on This Week with David Brinkley, where he and George F. Will work over Prime Ministers, Congressmen and Cabinet members. This is no good-guy, bad-guy team. Will throws out questions from deep rightfield. Donaldson simply goes straight for the jugular. The effect can be unfair, informative and intimidating. The exchange must be fast. Any guest who wants time to reflect risks not being asked back. If he filibusters, he will be interrupted (it takes equal brass, as with Senator Edward Kennedy, to insist, "Excuse me, if I can finish...
...Steve Brinkley is a sandy-haired lawyer with the amiably innocent look of a Teddy bear; his wife Jane is a teacher's aide at a nearby school. Together they earn $40,000 a year. They live with their eight-year-old son Peter in a handsomely renovated Victorian house in a wealthy suburb of Chicago. They have a new car and a new kitchen, and their lawn has no crab grass. Peter has just learned to do handstands. They look like the All-American Family living the All-American Dream. They are also broke. They are not only...
Steve and Jane Brinkley, with whom this report began, started reorganizing their lives in their Chicago suburb and have survived. They even found that their son preferred public school to the private institution that had cost them $2,000 a year. Rebecca Marsh Lewis, near Dallas, finally paid off her last bills in March.

On the air shortly before noon on election day, they voiced skepticism that the elections could be "clean and free" or "on the level," let alone meaningful. Surrounded by eager voters, Wooten said that the balloting "probably means more to Ronald Reagan and Alexander Haig than it does to them." Seemingly unimpressed by the public's brave defiance of guerrilla threats, he added: "This voting . .. probably isn't going to be a significant chapter in El Salvadoran "history. A paragraph, perhaps, but nothing much more than that...
...disliked. Says former NBC News Producer Clare Crawford-Mason: "Reuven is not interested in beating people over the head with value judgments about the news. He thinks the audience is intelligent enough to make up its own mind." As an NBC News producer, Frank teamed Chet Huntley with David Brinkley in 1956, and even created their legendary sign-off lines: "Good night, Chet." "Good night, David." The team dominated television news until Cronkite became the undisputed leader in 1968. Does Frank, who served a previous stretch as president of the news division (1968-73), have a battle plan...
