THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.

The woman who dressed in Marilyn Monroe and SpongeBob SquarePants out- fits on Halloween and gave viewers a tour of her colon will take the position once held by the iconic Walter Cronkite and the ousted Dan Rather. But claims that Couric lacks the “gravitas” for the job are “thinly disguised sex- ism,” said news consultant Andrew Tyndall. Few questioned Tom Brokaw when he switched from a “Today” host in the 1970s to become NBC top anchor. At ABC, Charles Gibson frequently did the morning and evening news- casts on the same day this past year during the late Peter Jennings’ illness. “I think her strengths” -- three hours a day of live broadcasting covering a wide swath of topics -- “will evolve and magnify to fit the task,” said Frank Sesno, a journalism professor at George Mason University and special CNN correspondent. “Sometimes I think change is a good thing,” Couric said on “Today.” “Although it may be terrifying to get out of your comfort zone, it’s very exciting to start a new chapter in your life.” NBC was moving swiftly to replace her. “The View” co-host Meredith Vieira, a former “60 Minutes” corre- spondent, was close Wednesday to accepting NBC’s offer to join Matt Lauer on “Today” starting this fall, according to a per- son familiar with the negotia- tions who spoke on condition of anonymity because a deal had not been completed. Couric, 49, grew up in journalism backstage at CNN, then joined NBC as a Pentagon reporter in 1989. In April 1991, she was installed next to Bryant Gumbel to wipe away the stain of Deborah Norville’s disas- trously brief tenure. It was a master stroke that earned hundreds of millions for NBC and its parent, General Electric Corp. Couric, paired with Lauer since 1997, will leave next month as the longest-serving “Today” host in the show’s 54-year history. The show is in the 11th year of an unprecedented ratings win- ning streak. Her success helped pave the career rise of Jeff Zucker, once Couric’s executive pro- ducer and now, as CEO of the NBC Universal Television Group, responsible for over- seeing a smooth transition at “Today.” “There comes a time for everyone, when new chal- lenges become hard to resist, and I fully understand that,” Zucker said. “I couldn’t be happier for Katie.” Couric turned down an offer of about $20 million a year to stay at NBC in order B-2-THURSDAY, APR. 6, 2006 UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL Call us today to place your ad The Ukiah • Locally • Statewide • Countywide • Nationwide • One Call – One Bill – We make it EASY for you!
