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

Both CBS and ABC offered updates on their wounded war correspondents. CBS' Katie Couric recounted a visit to the newsroom by a blushing Kimberly Dozier, survivor of 20 surgical operations with one more to come: "She is obviously much more comfortable covering the story than being the story." ABC's Gibson (subscription required) reminded us that this is the first anniversary of the explosion that almost blew his predecessor anchor Bob Woodruff's brains out. Next month Woodruff will file a documentary on combat casualties for ABC. Gibson showed us clips of a tuxedo-clad, rehabilitated Woodruff making a speech about his ordeal in November. Interestingly those clips showed only a right profile. Presumably most of the lasting damage is to the left side of his face.
