An animal story is often the selection for a closer for one newscast or another. This time there was no escape. In a blanket three-for, CBS' Michelle Miller (no link) closed on the prospect of the filly Rachel Alexandra racing in the Belmont Stakes after her Preakness victory on Saturday. NBC's Making a Difference closer with Chris Jansing told us the story of Tuesday, a prize show pony killed by a tornado last spring. Tuesday's eggs were harvested from her dead body for in vitro fertilization and this spring a pair of colts is born. Jansing loved the "beautiful buckskin." Animal offspring was the theme on ABC too as Neal Karlinsky showed us a real life Making Way for Ducklings on the streets of Spokane. Check out the sure-handed banker. In Karlinsky's words, "a center fielder could not have done better."
