CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Lifestyles

For their respective lead stories, ABC and CBS chose data from the Census Bureau. CBS assigned the story to its new hire Dean Reynolds, longtime ABC correspondent. Reynolds took the scattershot approach, delivering an assortment of trends including housing costs, working lifespans, staying single, college life and multilingualism. His factoid about early risers found that commuters on the road at 7am are no longer early birds but "practically stragglers now." ABC's David Muir also looked at the extra time taken by workers on the road as nationwide 5m start their commute before 5am. Muir offered two explanations: more people live in the exurbs to get better value for their housing dollar; and more highways are becoming so congested at rush hour that an early start is the only way to beat traffic. Gone is nine-to-five; say hello to five-to-seven.

ABC's lead was on the Census Bureau's finding that life expectancy is now almost 78 years, up from less than 70 half a century ago. Lisa Stark attributed increased lifespan to three factors: fewer cigarette smokers; heart disease medication to lower cholesterol and blood pressure; and screening for breast and colon cancer. She then offered divergent scenarios: lives may start getting shorter "with a third of the population now obese and diabetes up threefold;" or, if they continue getting longer, "Social Security may have to make the retirement age 85."
