...splendid, often unforgettable performances. Jeff Gerrard gives a delightfully detailed performance as Francis, from his nasal prissiness and grandmotherly peevishness to his awkward, chunky waddle.

Since last November, she has been tracing the developments in the TV news business that led to the wooing of Rather. Cronin interviewed dozens of news executives, producers and correspondents at the networks and in public television, as well as Walter Cronkite. "That," she says, "was like interviewing...
