Rounding off a light day of news--there was only one overseas story, a feature filed by ABC's Terry McCarthy (subscription required) on an Iraqi arts festival in Irbil--all three networks assigned a correspondent to cover water--balance, perhaps, for their booze-filled leads. Specifically the Pepsi-owned Aquafina brand of bottled drinking water has decided to change it label to acknowledge that its source is PWS. NBC's George Lewis reminded which brand Aquafina is--the one whose blue labels "conjure up images of crystal clean mountain springs." So ABC's Ned Potter translated: "Public Water Source--in other words it is a filtered, nicely-packaged version of tap water." Or in CBS' Richard Schlesinger's version: "From a pipe not a stream…water that has been forced through reverse osmosis, deionization and ozonation."
