All three networks assigned reporters to the shooting spree in a library of a Jewish seminary. NBC's Tom Aspell and ABC's Simon McGregor-Wood were in Jerusalem. McGregor-Wood repeated an eyewitness description of "religious students lying on the ground covered in blood, some of them still clutching their Bibles." CBS had Mark Phillips narrate the videotape from London. He said the seminary was "the heart of Israel's hardline religious West Bank settlers' movement"…CBS had Early Show correspondent Jeff Glor go down to Times Square, "one of the most photographed intersections in the world" where a military recruiting office that had been operating there since 1946 was vandalized overnight by a bicyclist bomber. An explosion shattered glass and burned a door: "No one was hurt"…at the White House, President George Bush inaugurated a photographic exhibit of World War I veterans by celebrating Frank Buckles, aged 107, the sold surviving Doughboy, as American GIs in that war were nicknamed. ABC anchor Charles Gibson narrated videotape of the ceremonies while NBC's John Yang sat down with the lucky centenarian: "He arrived in France just as the guns went silent, missing the war."
