In the Line of Duty

摘要

When the horrible news broke that ABC's World News Tonight co-anchor Bob Woodruff and his cameraman Doug Vogt had been severely injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, I couldn't help thinking back to a night almost three years ago. I was half-asleep, watching ER, when the phone rang. "Hey, Max. Sorry I'm calling you so late." It was NBC News' David Bloom. He was rolling with the Third Infantry Division in Iraq in an M88 Armored Recovery Vehicle, retrofitted as a mobile studio and dubbed the Bloom-mobile. But he sounded as clear as if he was phoning from 30 Rock.
