While many may find this development invasive or downright creepy, it's important to see things from the point of view of the advertisers. Not so long ago, they could reach the majority of the North American viewing public by running commercials on the three broadcast TV networks.

A father of three, he covered the O.J. Simpson trial and the Clinton White House before becoming co-anchor of the Weekend Today show. Doctors said the embolism was probably caused by a blood clot in his leg, perhaps linked to hours of cramped riding in an Army tank...
