Hartman's abundant curiosity and sense of wonderment still serve him well after all these years; his narration of a flight he took in a B-1 bomber last year vividly captured the sights, sounds and fears. Joan Lunden, who has shared a homey set with Hartman since 1980, has sharpened what once were rather dull interviewing skills. Yet the duo rarely engage in the spontaneous banter of Gumpaul...
