Remember Michael Forbes, the Scottish farmer who CBS' Mark Phillips profiled yesterday? Forbes is the holdout against Donald Trump, refusing to sell land for a luxury golf course. His story was good enough to lure Jim Sciutto (subscription required) to the dunes of Balmedie to file the same story for ABC. CBS meanwhile moved on to Holdout #2 for Steve Hartman's Assignment America. Meet Edith Macefield, aged 86, who has turned down $1m for her house from a mall developer in Seattle. So construction is proceeding all around her: "When the job is done Edith's house will be surrounded on three sides by fives stories of cement."
Not only did Macefield reject the money, she rejected Hartman's interview request. So CBS is bringing in the big guns. Anchor Katie Couric assured her correspondent, "I will work on Edith for both of us."
