What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Wall Street Journal reports U.S. forces in Okinawa now face a curfew and an alcohol ban after a Marine was arrested on suspicion of killing a Japanese woman.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA curfew and a booze ban. So the Pentagon's answer to a killing is early bedtime and no beer?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe measures follow the arrest, Hank. A woman is dead. The suspect has not been tried. Officials, as usual, reach first for the paperwork.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnderstood. I'll keep my comments on the bureaucracy and off the tragedy. Where next?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFrance. Fox News reports student protests over school conditions have turned violent, and cites experts who say a red-green alliance is fueling a broader revolt.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's Fox's framing, and experts are doing a lot of work there. I assume the actual complaint is a leaky school roof.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe report says school conditions. I have covered Paris unrest since the nineties. Every faction claims the crowd, and the crowd usually just wants heating.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn my day, school conditions meant a cold sandwich. Now it's a political alliance. I blame the cafeteria.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinally, Al Jazeera reports Lionel Messi's farewell resonated with fans in India, almost fifteen thousand kilometers from Argentina.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFifteen thousand kilometers. I've never traveled that far for anything, and I once drove to Ohio for a coupon. Thank you, Gloria.
