Greetings Dennis,
Thanks for the link. I obviously haven't seen World Report in a few
months. My hope would be that she'll be able to continue reporting more
or less "unbiased" content. This is sort of what CNN World News
purports to be but I must admit, at this point I'm concerned with
what's coming out of the newscasts on the two CNN channels we subscribe
to.
Tie-in to AppleScript is that I think the 'say' command should have an
option for 'using Daljit'. For my taste, this would be preferable to
"Victoria Hi-Kwality".

Philip --
From CNN's web site
<http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/cnni/dhaliwal.daljit.html>:
Daljit Dhaliwal is an anchor for CNN International, based in the
network's Atlanta headquarters. Currently, Dhaliwal is an anchor for
World News and also hosts World Report, CNN's longest running
program, which gives the world's broadcasters a global forum from
which to report the news 'as they see it' to the rest of the world.
Dhaliwal joined CNN in August 2002. An accomplished broadcast
journalist, Dhaliwal was previously an anchor for the British
Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC) 24-hour international news channel,
BBC World. She then went on to anchor World News for Public
Television, which was produced by Britain's ITN network, and seen
throughout the United States. Dhaliwal also co-anchored ITN's Channel
Four News and served as a primetime anchor on ITN's 24-hour news
channel. While at ITN, she also anchored World Focus, a weekly
international news show....
I think that it was Daljit who dropped BBC, and later ITN, to go for
the gold. Good for her. Were this ten (or even five) years ago I would
expect her to head for one of the American big-three within a year or
two and wind up on a morning show, maybe graduate to weekend anchor.
These days I suspect she will find her best-compensation niche with
the CNN companies and do quite well.
