Dateline co-anchor Jane Pauley, who shared the awkward duty of apologizing on air, told the staff in a pep talk the next day that she took "perverse pride" in the readiness to admit failings. But most journalists and, for that matter, most news consumers seemed to agree with former NBC News president Reuven Frank, who said, "This is the worst black eye NBC News has suffered in my experience, which goes back...
...York as the city longs to see itself -- stylish, street-smart, sophisticated, ; successful and, in comparison with Los Angeles, blessedly serene. For celebrities, Guys and Dolls has become a must-see. Last week Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were there; the week before, it was Garry Trudeau and Jane Pauley.

Today slipped from No. 1 to second in the ratings; morale sank just as fast. "This place went through hell," says Zucker. "We can acknowledge it now because it's over...
...boom shows no signs of slackening. NBC, the one network conspicuously left off the prime-time news bandwagon, will try again in late March with a new show, Dateline NBC, co-anchored by Jane Pauley and Stone Phillips. And ABC is currently assembling the staff for yet another news hour, which will compete head-to-head with 60 Minutes on Sunday nights, perhaps as early as this summer...
