Seven Wonders Of America!

ABC's "Good Morning America" has assembled a panel of experts to name the seven wonders of the United States. The series begins on May 5. I was thinking about this. What would my seven wonders of the USA be? In under 2 minutes, I came up with the following:
Wall Street - This is where personal fortunes are won and lost. The US financial markets affect the world's economy.
Washington DC - That's right, the nation's capital. Headquarters for our three branches of government. A wonder in that we are often wondering what they are thinking!
Hollywood - The entertainment capital of the world - though nothing in Hollywood is really real.
Grand Canyon - Magnificent hole in the ground, made by nature.
Las Vegas - A place in the dessert like no other place on Earth!
Niagara Falls - A lotta water. Probably a mistake of nature.
Hospitals - Any hospital, particularly a delivery room. That's where the miracle begins.

Breaking Into TV!

This happened last Sunday night, December 23. The driver of a minivan drove his car through a downtown Chicago window onto the set of WLS-TV. This happened during the live broadcast of the 10 PM news.

The driver was arrested for reckless driving and for driving with no insurance.
No one was injured.
The news anchor is Ravi Baichwal. He did a wonderful job of keeping his cool and reporting the "breaking news."
