...with its curved walls and round ceiling trusses, it hasn't a foot of dull space in it. There are a few things in the design that seem arbitrary or merely rhetorical.

Taped segments will cover the usual mix of hard and soft news, with stories ranging from Bosnian war criminals to incompetent telephone operators. Hidden-camera reports, producers say, will occasionally be used...
