...Doyle (NBC) will call the shots, decide which of the images from scores of cameras will go inside the nation's homes, offices and bars.

Andrews and a score of volunteer infantrymen from Ohio penetrated nearly 200 miles behind the Confederate lines in Tennessee, seized a railway train outside Marietta, Ga. and raced north intending to destroy track and railway bridges as they fled. Their object: to prevent Southern reinforcements from being sent from Atlanta while Union General Mitchel made a surprise attack on Chattanooga...
