...sunny Saturday the couple, along with their lawyer, Steve Schlosser, and six of their closest friends, leaped out of three planes flying 10,500 ft. above the airport in Antioch, Calif. The plan called for Gene to hand over the papers to Schlosser, who would in turn relay them to Lynda. Then everybody would form a ring and give Lynda a kiss before yanking their ripcords and coming down to earth...
Everything worked out fine. Although Gene missed his hookup with Schlosser, he did manage to pass the documents fancily to his plummeting wife. Three minutes later the couple made a perfect landing.

...verdict, however, rests with Dick Wald, NBC Chairman Julian Goodman and President Herbert Schlosser, and that jury is still out. "If Miss 'X' walks in tomorrow, we might consider her," cautions an NBC executive. Quite so. During the 1974 talent hunt, Brokaw was the odds-on favorite, followed by other household names. The winner that time: Jim Hartz, almost-no one's first choice...
