Article: "Diane Sawyer: When Words Fail Her"

[Mervin Block]

Dear Friend,

      Diane Sawyer has been anchoring ABC’s “World News” for more than nine months. I’ve been watching her newscast intermittently—and listening closely.

      So I took what amounts to a second look—and listen--and wrote an article—“Diane Sawyer: When Words Fail Her.” You can read it at my website:                   http://www.mervinblock.com/?q=node/105
