When Betty Ford died a week and a half ago, "Nightly News" ran an obit reel (narrated by Brian Williams, who had the night off) showing important events in Mrs. Ford's life as they were carried by NBC News. So we saw footage of David Brinkley at the anchor desk, and of Tom Brokaw doing a pre-taped report; we even heard Barbara Walters' voice briefly. But then there was a clip from a September 1974 "Nightly News" with John Chancellor announcing Mrs. Ford's breast cancer diagnosis. One problem with the Chancellor clip, though: it was a black and white kinescope of a color broadcast! I was really surprised that they didn't have good quality video of their newscast from such a late date. It makes me wonder how well they're preserving those archives. -Tim -- TV or Not TV ....
