Elton Rule, who is now the head of ABC, was the station manager at KABC-TV. He taped a station editorial for the nightly news and blew his lines about half way through. He shouted some profanities (several of the 7 forfidden words) and they retaped the editorial. The only problem was that they didn't erase the first taping and when the tape was queued up they started from the first try. Needless to say heads rolled. This is one you will never see on one of those blooper shows. Dave Williams Tektronix, Inc. ECS
