...ever met in television," says David Browning, who was hired from CBS to produce her new show. "What I always admired about her," says Brokaw, "was that she was absolutely determined not to be seduced by bright lights, big city." Cynthia Samuels, a former Today producer who now runs Channel One, the schoolroom newscast, enthuses, "She is emblematic of the best of this generation...

They were able to channel this support into radio airplay--first on college stations and then on commercial stations.

Part of the plan calls for an undersea cable 222 km (138 miles) long, traversing the 1,920-meter-deep (6,300 ft.) Alenuihaha Channel. That would be the longest and deepest undersea electrical transmission line in the world. No one knows whether such a cable could operate reliably, nor whether its construction might harm the Cape Kinau nature reserve on Maui...
