"Morning Papers" started when NewsNight was a four hour program for the War Effort.

There were two "Morning Papers"

We'll check morning papers in a moment.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BROWN: Very quickly, let's do morning papers. Wasn't that cool, though, with Carl Reiner? Yes, it was.

"New York Times." All the things you'd expect in "The New York Times." "Bush Declares One Victory in War on Terror." A couple of really good analysis pieces, or at least as much as I've had a chance to read.The story I like best in the "Times" is down in the corner.

"Birmingham Recalls a Time When Children Led the Fight." It looked back at the civil rights era in Birmingham, Alabama. Very cool piece in tomorrow's "New York Times."

"USA Today," if you're traveling, "Bush Hails Win and Looks Ahead," their lead. And then they take a look at the ship, the Abraham Lincoln. It's a nice idea for a story.

The "Atlanta Constitution," "Chicks Play Dixie." Get it? OK. That's on the front page. Good for them. And "Difficult Work Ahead," the president as well.And in that picture everywhere. I want to get one more thing in quickly.

"Detroit News," OK, this is an auto story. The big front page story is a hockey story, because it's hockey town. "Yzerman to Stay for Run to Cup" or "At Cup." And we think that's good because we like him. He's a good hockey player.And that's all the time we've got.

We'll see you tomorrow, 10 p.m. Eastern time.

If I put my glasses on, I will see you tomorrow. Good night for all of us on NEWSNIGHT.
