Lehrer News Hour:

This evening at about 6 or 7 minutes after the hour, a reporter kept on
referring to a 3-mile zone in Kosovo.

I cannot believe for a millisecond that a fire-free zone would have been
established using miles as a measure.  I have to believe that in reality it
is a 5 kilometer zone.

Please verify this as I am certain this would be the case because even
America's military uses kilometers. Please stop changing from the
International System of Units to WOMBAT (Way Of Measuring Badly in America
Today).

I watch the Lehrer News Hour on Atlanta's Channel 8 from about 18:30 to its
end and then I catch the first half when it is repeated on Atlanta's Channel
30 beginning at 19:00.
