from WUSA channel 9 (DC's CBS station) on Friday: Walter Reed treating US personnel from Iran conflict. Then there was an online game of telephone trying to math-speculate together different bits of info.

(Trivia for those who were watching TV in the DC area when shows like Ed Sullivan, All in the Family, I Love Lucy, and M*A*S*H were in production, WUSA was WTOP-TV from 1950-78. A modern all-news radio station in DC still uses the WTOP call sign.)
