August 14: Katie Couric chats with Howard Kurtz.
Couric: It's not going to be smiley-face happy news.
September 12: I chat with my wife M.
M: Katie Couric was doing a story about lifespans in different cities yesterday. She used a map that put smiley faces on the cities where lifespans were longer, and frowny faces on cities where lifespans were shorter.Me: (pause) No, she didn't.
M: (smiling) Yes. She did.
Also tormenting the spirits of ancient journalists: Meredith Vieira.
Vieira: I'm going to be the broad in broadcasting.
My advice: Use your television to watch only football and House, and you'll be okay.
