Report Condemns CBS News; 4 Lose Jobs
January 11, 2005 Josh Getlin and Scott Collins Times Staff Writers
NEW YORK — CBS News dismissed four staffers and appointed a new standards executive Monday after an independent panel issued an exhaustive and highly critical report on how questionable documents -- and a frenzied rush to trump competitors -- led the network to air a high-stakes story about President Bush's military service that turned into a journalistic and political debacle.
Now the venerable news division, home of pioneering broadcaster Edward R. Murrow and for years the crown jewel of the "Tiffany Network," must repair the damage as it seeks to restore its credibility under difficult circumstances: Its prime-time newscast ranks third among the big three networks. It remains beset by conservative critics who say the organization is driven by liberal bias.
And although he was not among those forced out, anchor Dan Rather, who presented the controversial "60 Minutes Wednesday" piece, retires in March, leaving the network in the hunt for a successor to be its new public face.
Aired on Sept. 8 in the midst of a tight presidential race, the segment raised serious allegations about Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard.
The 224-page report, scathing in its summation, said CBS' handling of the story was flawed at almost every turn -- in the reporting that began in haste in late August, the internal process for reviewing the authenticity of documents, and even afterward, when questions were raised by Web loggers and journalists.
CBS News' problems with the story, the panel said, were the result of "a myopic zeal" to be first with the story, causing the network to fall short of its own core principles of accuracy and fairness. Although the report did not find evidence of political bias, it sharply criticized a producer for contacting the John F. Kerry campaign before the segment aired.
The panel, led by former Atty. Gen. Richard L. Thornburgh and former Associated Press executive Louis D. Boccardi, lambasted the network for "considerable and fundamental deficiencies" in preparing and later defending the story.
The story, titled "For the Record," alleged that Bush had received favorable treatment during his service during the Vietnam War era.
The story offered as evidence four documents allegedly written by Bush's late former commanding officer, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, in 1972 and 1973. One of the documents stated that a retired Air National Guard general had put pressure on officers to "sugarcoat" Bush's evaluation

Report Condemns CBS News; 4 Lose Jobs
January 11, 2005 Josh Getlin and Scott Collins Times Staff Writers
Though Rather was not fired for his role in the broadcast, CBS chief Leslie Moonves faulted him for "overzealously" defending the report after it was attacked by bloggers and other commentators. Rather had announced that he would retire in March after 24 years behind the anchor's desk.
"We feel that Dan has announced already that he's leaving the [anchor] chair shortly," Moonves said in an interview. "And he will remain with '60 Minutes.' We feel that Dan did his job."
Also spared the ax was Rather's boss, CBS News President Andrew Heyward, who, the independent panel and Moonves said, had conscientiously attempted to verify the report before broadcast.
Many observers were struck by the harshness of the panel's report. Although CBS commissioned the report, the panel said its conclusions were reached independently and the network had no control over the content of the report.
"It's the sharpest criticism any news organization has ever been subjected to in public," said Marvin Kalb, a former CBS correspondent and senior fellow at Harvard University's Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy.
Still, the panel's report seems unlikely to be the last word on the scandal. Even Rather's role in the controversy may not be entirely resolved. The panel's report said that despite his delivery last fall of a widely reported apology for the story, the anchor did not "fully agree" with CBS' decision to stop defending the Bush piece and "still believes that the content of the documents is accurate."
Through a representative, Rather declined to comment. "We can't possibly issue a statement today, because we have to read" the report, said Kim Akhtar, the anchor's spokeswoman.
Bob Schieffer, who sometimes substitutes for Rather on the "Evening News," filled in for the anchor on Monday's broadcast, which led with a story about the panel's report.
It also seems unlikely that the network will settle the future of the "Evening News" any time soon.
"There's no news on that," Moonves said of the search for a new anchor. "We're not even close to a decision."
Attempts to reach Howard, Murphy and West were unsuccessful. But in an e-mail sent to reporters covering the story, Mapes said she was "terribly disappointed in the conclusions of the report and its effects on the four of us who will no longer work at CBS News."
She also criticized Moonves for "vitriolic scape-goating" in his prepared response to the panel's report.
Of the panel's view that the report had been rushed to air, Mapes said: "Airing this story when it did was ... a decision made by my superiors, including Andrew Heyward. If there was a journalistic crime committed here, it was not by me."
From 12/19/1945 ( Harry Truman - Special Message to the Congress Recommending the Establishment of a Department of National Defense ) To 10/25/1984 ( from my official United States Navy documents: "You received CO's NJP for this offense" ) is 14190 days
From 11/2/1965 ( my birth date in Antlers Oklahoma USA and my birthdate as the known official United States Marshal Kerry Wayne Burgess and active duty United States Marine Corps officer ) To 9/8/2004 is 14190 days
From 5/26/1992 ( Charles Geschke kidnapped at gunpoint for ransom ) To 9/8/2004 is 4488 days
4488 = 2244 + 2244
From 11/2/1965 ( my birth date in Antlers Oklahoma USA and my birthdate as the known official United States Marshal Kerry Wayne Burgess and active duty United States Marine Corps officer ) To 12/25/1971 ( George Walker Bush the purveyor of illegal drugs strictly for his personal profit including the trafficking of massive amounts of cocaine into the United States confined to federal prison in Mexico for illegally smuggling narcotics in Mexico ) is 2244 days

Word Object Model Overview
Other Versions
When you develop Word solutions in Visual Studio, you interact with the Word object model. This object model consists of classes and interfaces that are provided in the primary interop assembly for Word, and are defined in the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word namespace.
Applies to: The information in this topic applies to document-level projects and VSTO add-in projects for Word. For more information, see Features Available by Office Application and Project Type.
This topic provides a brief overview of the Word object model. For resources where you can learn more about the entire Word object model, see Using the Word Object Model Documentation.
For information about using the Word object model to perform specific tasks, see the following topics:

Understanding the Word Object Model
Word provides hundreds of objects with which you can interact. These objects are organized in a hierarchy that closely follows the user interface. At the top of the hierarchy is the Application object. This object represents the current instance of Word. The Application object contains the Document, Selection, Bookmark, and Range objects. Each of these objects has many methods and properties that you can access to manipulate and interact with the object.

Summary: Provides information on how to use Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System to take advantage of the objects available in Microsoft Office Word 2003. It introduces several important Word objects and provides examples of how to use them. You will learn how to work with Word 2003 applications and documents, as well as with some of the more important properties and methods.
Introduction
Microsoft® Word is probably one of the most commonly used software products in the world today. Most people using Word get by just fine without writing any code at all, although Word has a rich and powerful object model making it eminently programmable. Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System enables developers to interact with the objects provided by the Microsoft Office Word 2003 object model by using a .NET language, such as Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET or Microsoft Visual C#
