  • Herb returns to Beirut to cover Embassy Bombing (see description)

    First dateline from Beirut in five weeks (Herb has been in Amman). Also, first time we see Nora as a contributor. Looks like Herb ran back from Amman to cover the bombing and they had Nora help with the early fact gathering (since Herb was in Jordan)
