The Big Three

NEW YORK — Here's the anchorman segment we've been hearing about. It's a short retrospective on Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings, who all stepped down in the past year, for very varying reasons.

Rather and Brokaw get a standing ovation. Both pay heartfelt tribute to Jennings. Brokaw says the three of them shared a "common commitment to the important of serious journalism." What does he think about the few hours the networks devoted to the Katrina story given its magnitude? It might have been different if any one of them was still in his chair.

And before that, PBS's "Lost Prince" won for Outstanding Miniseries. The woman who accepted the award, who wasn't identified, delivered a tasteful little speech.
