More Carol Marin clips. This set is an awards composite from the late 80s. (And at 16:28 features a segment on Chicago’s infamous Baton Show Lounge.)

From NPR:

“President-elect Joe Biden named 13 health experts to his Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board on Monday, advancing his plans despite uncertainty over how much the Trump administration will cooperate amid its ongoing legal challenge to the election results. The coronavirus has spread at alarming rates in the U.S. in recent weeks.

“The panel will be co-chaired by three people: former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. David Kessler of the University of California, San Francisco; former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy; and Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Yale.”

Competence is coming back to government. Hold on, everyone. Stay healthy, stay safe. This team will work tirelessly to get the pandemic under control.

More on the retirement of broadcast journalist, Carol Marin. Her work as a correspondent for “60 Minutes” had her in New York City on September 11, 2001. When she saw on the newsroom monitors what was going on downtown that morning, her natural reporter instincts kicked in: She grabbed a CBS producer and they rushed down to the World Trade Center. Just as she approached the area, WTC1 collapsed. Had it not been for the heroics of a New York firefighter, Marin likely would have died that day. Here she is, shortly after the collapse, talking with then CBS News anchor, Dan Rather.
(The producer and the firefighter survived, as well.)

More highlights from Carol Marin’s career as the best (imho) TV reporter in the business. They don’t make them like her anymore. This video futures a series of her reports on the infamous El Rukn street gang in Chicago.

In case you missed them (or want to see them again).

I had MSNBC on all morning and took half a minute at about the 1:40 point in this video to run to the kitchen to refill my coffee. When I returned to the living room, the network had already called the election. In this video, the call happens at the 2:05 mark. I missed it by about 10 seconds.
