CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Tuesday’s Tidbits

Following up on Monday's historic shocker from Pope Benedict XVI, NBC sent Anne Thompson to the Vatican for a brief stand-up; CBS did not bother with a correspondent; ABC's David Wright demonstrated how futile it is to try to get the inside Vatican dope by consulting Paddy Power, the ecclesiastical bookmaker from Ireland. "Just a parlor game," Wright shrugged.

NBC's Janet Shamlian turned to the plight of the passengers on the stranded cruise liner Triumph, which ABC's Matt Gutman covered Monday. Hear about Ziploc latrines and onion sandwiches. What a Carnival!

The idea of Lyndon Johnson as an inspiration for St Valentine's Day seems far-fetched. His grandchildren Lyndon Nugent and Catherine Robb give it the college try on NBC.

Maestro Ahmed Sarmast could have hogged the limelight for Seth Doane's feature on his youth orchestra from Afghanistan as it heads for Carnegie Hall. Instead CBS picked out the looker 18-year-old Milad Yousufi and his Practice, Practice, Practice.
