...Steve tagged along, followed by Wife Ali McGraw. Donning helmet and coat, he joined firefighters and helped pull the hoses into line. "It's on-the-job training," said a proud but anxious Ali from a safe distance. As for Steve, he proved something of a distraction.

Thirty-year-old Rivera has now been in the news business exactly three years and eight months as a reporter for New York City's WABC Eyewitness News. During that time, the former Brooklyn street-gang leader, merchant seaman, dry-goods salesman and poverty lawyer has won five Emmys, 74 other awards, and a $100,000-a-year salary...
