What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is stable, but he'll stay in hospital several more days after collapsing at the training centre on Friday.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBoard member Max Eberl said the club is not talking in terms of days but weeks, and that Kompany returns only when he's fully fit.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEveryone at the club is clearly wishing him well, and that's the right order of priorities.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRight, lighter one now. The Nazca Lines in Peru, more than eight hundred miles of them, drawn between two hundred B. C. and A. D. five hundred.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSome are a single uninterrupted line, which would suit people walking them in single file. Two thousand years on, we still debate why.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call it a very long-term creative brief. They finished it, and nobody's asked for a revision.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistEight hundred miles, and you can only see it from the sky. That's my whole career, Vera. Nobody looks up.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Steelers play the Saints in Paris on Sunday at Stade de France, built in nineteen ninety-eight. Kickoff is nine-thirty Eastern.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Saints' site lists it as eight-thirty Central, which is the same instant written differently. I'd like that in a communique.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo ways to say it. That's called flexibility.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistGloria, I've named a cloud after you, as a peace offering. It's grey and it's very serious.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI accept. Is it on time?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's Eastern, Central and Paris, Gloria, and it's still running late.
