...media story, of course, the Pearl saga has the added hook - much like the anthrax letter to Tom Brokaw - of being about one of our own. Pearl's boss, Wall Street Journal managing editor Paul Steiger, pleaded with the group to at least restore Pearl to the role that led him to the Village restaurant the night of Jan. 22 - "View Danny as a messenger," Steiger wrote - and that is what shakes journalists most about the story. Hotspot reporters know the risks, but they're also used to thinking that what they can offer professionally - a mass audience - will...
...night two weeks ago, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer pushed back from his desk and smiled. The evening news had just ended and, once more, all the TV stories about Enron dealt with it as an accounting debacle, not a political one. Fleischer looked over at Tom Brokaw of NBC, whose cameras had been shadowing Bush all day, and said, "All right. Did you notice all the Enron stuff that everybody was asking about?

They're almost invariably male, says Fitzgerald, and they're always filled with anger. In this case, the rage is directed, for reasons still unclear, at Tom Brokaw, Tom Daschle and someone at the New York Post. "They represent something to him," says Fitzgerald. "Whatever agenda he's operating under, these people meant something to him." Indeed, the FBI is hoping the mailer might have spoken contemptuously of them to an acquaintance who will recall the incident...
...Sopranos). Above all, it is about rediscovering community in a culture that lionized the individual. Even the dark drama Six Feet Under features a gay character finding solace in, of all uncool places, his church. Most conspicuous is the World War II mania, from Saving Private Ryan and Tom Brokaw's encomium The Greatest Generation right up to this fall's HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, which has rolled boomer reconnection with parents, guilt over easy prosperity and a longing for communal purpose (be careful what you wish for) all into one trendlet...
