- -Yesterday evening (11/17) on Headline News a short (~1 minute) news
- -item was read about a group of scientists who had published a document
- -warning us of the danger we're all in becuase of the rapid depletion
- -of the ozone and the also rapid extinction of many species of animals.
- -The news item was very brief and did not mention any names nor even
- -the title of the paper that was published.
-
- -It seems to me that if something as (seemingly) important as this
- -ought to have had more attention paid to it than a one-minute news
- -blurb without references.

- That's what CNN Headline News is *for*. You're supposed to watch it for
- a 30-minute cycle to pick up that item, then turn to the regular CNN
- channel and wait for 17 hours until they get around to mentioning it.
- (If it's a science item, you might have to wait until the weekend -
- they have a very good science show on Saturday mornings, I believe.)
-
- You can record Headline News on a VCR, and capture plenty of 10-15 second
- video clips of events such as launches, that dramatic engine explosion
- some months back, video from Shuttle or Mir, etc.
