The header of Jean's posting shows it as posted 11:52 pm Thursday in time zone -5 (presumably CDT in the US), so I assume her "yesterday" means Wednesday. > You must broaden your sources of news, Evelyn...it surely was there. > You might try listening to more than one newscast. Evelyn referred to Wednesday. Please indicate which newscasts on *Wednesday* were showing lines of planes grounded at Heathrow, which did not close until midday Thursday? -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Don't anthropomorphize evolution: msb(a)vex.net It hates that." --John Freiler My text in this article is in the public domain.

There was SOME coverage today on MSNBC (including an interview with a geologist), but most of what I could find on CNN and FOX and other cable sources were their syndicated talking heads with commentary on whatever they comment about. (Whatever happened to the cable news channels that broadcast ONLY news - "in depth", but NEWS, not comment?)
