...lights caught a curious sight: a cluster of vertical tubes growing in rocky crevices of this volcanically active region of the sea floor. Each pipe housed a pinkish worm with an elegant, red, feathery plume. Alvin's robot-like arms grappled up samples, and still more on a return visit earlier this year.

Murrow, who helped invent broadcast journalism and became a symbol of integrity to colleagues and the public, eventually left the network in despair. Much later, Bill Moyers told Paley that he wanted to quit CBS and return to public broadcasting. Paley asked what it would take to keep him. Moyers said a regular primetime news show, "much like Murrow had." Paley's response: "I'm sorry, Bill, I can't do it any more. The minute is worth too much...
