An odd welter of obituaries converged, including in-house grief at NBC for Eric Wishnie, a former producer for Nightly News, who died at only 45. ABC honored Marvin Zindler, the longtime consumer correspondent at its Houston affiliate KTRK-TV, by replaying his signature Eyewitness News sign off. All three networks noted the death of Bill Walsh, aged 75, the groundbreaking NFL coach. And two anchors filed obituary packages. ABC's Charles Gibson paid tribute to Swedish moviemaker Ingmar Bergman, aged 89, "who used black-and-white pictures not to paint the world in two colors but to capture the extremes of the human condition." NBC's Brian Williams chose a veteran of his own network: "Most Americans remember seeing Tom Snyder through a haze of cigarette smoke. On the late night show called Tomorrow he interviewed the biggest names of the day."
