None of the networks assigned a reporter to Las Vegas to preview the Democratic Presidential candidates' debate organized by CNN. Perhaps they felt that to do so would give free publicity to the competition. So the day's campaign coverage on the broadcast newscasts consisted of the latest profile in ABC's Who Is? series. This time anchor Charles Gibson (subscription required) sat down with Republican Rudolph Giuliani. We heard about his jailbird father who served time in Sing Sing for armed robbery; his teenage love of opera; his decision not attend a Roman Catholic seminary--"it was the celibacy that first said to me I cannot do this." Giuliani concluded by reflecting on the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. "Is this a divine plan or are things random?" "I believe there is a divine plan." "How does 9/11 fit in?" "We do not know. The other thing about a divine plan is--it is divine. It is beyond our comprehension as human beings."
