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

On this heavy day of news, a pair of stories was covered by reporters on all three newscasts. From the Pentagon, ABC's Jonathan Karl (embargoed link), CBS' Kimberly Dozier and NBC's Jim Miklaszewski, all narrated the videotape released by the USNavy to document its ships' ultimately non-violent confrontation with a quintet of Iranian Revolutionary Guard speedboats in the Straits of Hormuz. The audio included a nearly inaudible snippet from a speedboater saying: "We will explode." Dozier called the tone "mocking," Karl "eerie," Miklaszewski "ominous." The second story was a rare midwinter storm that spawned a line of tornadoes from Arkansas to the Great Lakes: NBC's Kevin Tibbles and CBS' Cynthia Bowers covered the damage from Wisconsin, ABC's Barbara Pinto (embargoed link) from Illinois.
