ABC's conclusion of its Battleground Bus Tour in that muddy cornfield in Iowa meant that its skipped its usual weekending Person of the Week for anchor Charles Gibson's summary remarks. NBC and CBS both stuck with their feature format. On CBS' Assignment America, Steve Hartman brought us the little football team that could. McLeod West High School of Brownton Minn is likely to shut its doors at the end of the year so its student body is depleted. The Falcons' football team plays both ways, fielding a squad of just 19 players. NBC's Making a Difference saw Chris Jansing tell us about second-career babyboomers, volunteering for Third World development aid with the Peace Corps. She introduced us the fiftysomething Finesilvers of New Hampshire, husband Charlie and wife Jeannie, dispatched to help the destitute of Mali. He contracted malaria twice. She had to be airlifted home with a broken leg. "Profound!" Charlie exclaimed of his experience. "Messy and complicated…absolutely wonderful."
