...director at WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, Ohio, interviews prospective newscasters, the first thing he hears is, "I promise not to run for mayor." Anywhere else, that would be a lame joke; at Channel 5, it's a necessary disclaimer. Talk-show host Jerry Springer was an anchor at the station after serving as mayor from 1977 to 1978; current officeholder Charlie Luken quit his job as a WLWT anchor to run for the post. And one day last June, anchor Courtis Fuller read the news at noon, handed Jobe his resignation and jumped into the race against Luken...
Both candidates are doing their best to appear gentlemanly. As colleagues at WLWT, they occasionally anchored together. But when they shared the stage last week at a forum sponsored by the AFL-CIO, they sat at opposite ends of a 15-ft.-long table. The amenities of the TV station were gone.

...seatmate became too aggressive. She got about 60 ft. away from the car when the American caught up with her. A few moments later, a Marine friend who was planning to drive the woman home came looking for her. He found her face down on the hood of a station wagon, a black man having intercourse with her from behind. When the Marine called out, the man zipped up and hopped into a car driven by his friends. The vehicle's license plate, eyewitnesses say, bore the letter Y--signifying a military vehicle. At 2:32 a.m. local police received...
...announcement, which will be broadcast from a Raleigh television station Wednesday evening, signals the effective end of the political life of the Senator which began when balanced budgets were considered a radical idea. The irascible 79-year-old Helms has held his seat since 1972. GOP strategists insist Helms? impending departure will not hurt their chances to regain the Senate in 2002, but Democrats? undisguised glee over the announcement tells another story...
