Katie Couric Won’t Go to War Zones
Unlike many of her colleagues, Katie Couric won’t be venturing to the war-torn Middle East after she takes over the anchor chair on "CBS Evening News” in September.
"I think the situation there is so dangerous, and as a single parent with two children, that’s something I won’t be doing,” she told NBC’s Access Hollywood.
That gave Access Hollywood a chance to crow that NBC’s Martin Fletcher was not only in Israel, but he and his crew nearly became battle casualties.
"A rocket fell 100 yards in front of us, straight in our line of driving,” Fletcher said. "Five seconds later we would have been hit.”

NBC’s Brian Williams and Ann Curry and ABC’s Charles Gibson are also in the Middle East as hostilities rage.
In Iraq, more than 70 journalists have died since the war began.
