   Tom Brokaw's special marking the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. "Leap" features interviews with three members of the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment, who discuss their harrowing descent into enemy gunfire, their lifelong friendships and their special bonds with French villagers who greeted them as liberators and saved their lives.
2. Arab -- North America
   The contributions of Moorish Spain to Arab music were profound and far-reaching. The Easterners' adaptation to a new physical environment and the introduction of Eastern science and literature into settings of wealth and splendor, as represented in the courts of Seville, Granada, and Cordoba, were inspirational to the new artistic life of al-Andalus. Zaryab (died about 850) was a freed slave who moved from Baghdad to Cordoba, where he became a highly respected singer, 'ud player, and music teacher. Zaryab is credited with compiling a repertoire of twenty-four nawbat, (singular nawbah or nubah), each of which was a composite of vocal and instrumental pieces in a certain melodic mode. The nawbat were reportedly associated with the different hours of the day. The nawbah tradition was largely transported to North Africa by the Muslims who were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula in the late fifteenth century.
3. John Ford -- Quiet Man

4. Williams
   Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, Williams was on the air for days of continuous coverage. USA Today named him Best Anchor of the marathon 2000 Presidential election night coverage. In 1997, his continuous coverage of the death of Princess Diana was watched by millions worldwide on the networks of NBC News, as were his many hours of live coverage following the crash of TWA Flight 800 and the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr.
5. Anthony Johnson
   US Chute Boxe fighter Anthony Johnson will be stepping in the cage to face Pangea Fights veteran and US Marine Jonathan Romero. Johnson is an explosive striker who can end the fight standing or on the ground! Rumor has it that the Chute Boxe fighter will have Brazilian Chute Boxe Team members Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and Antonio “Nino” Schembri ringside to help cheer him and the rest of the Chute Boxe fighters onto victory! However, Jonathan Romero (Gracie Barra) is a very game fighter who can fight both standing and from his back. Though, Jonathan will most likely be looking to finish this one by submission. This should be another great fight between Gracie Barra and Chute Boxe!
6. The Today Show -- Morning
   The Today Show's Jenna Wolf started off the 8:30 hour this morning with a report about the new "ladies nights" for contemporary women living in a criminal world: Taser parties. The brainchild of Dana Shafman, the parties, formally known as "ShieldHer Taser Parties", are expanding into states like California, Nevada, and Texas and feature light snacks, no booze, and tasers in colors like hot pink for sale. Shafman explains that not only has she sold over 100 tasers since starting the business last October, she's been tased herself (on video no less). As for those ladies concerned over the devices' potential for deadly injury, just remember: Leopard-print tasers don't kill people; people do! Clip above.
7. American Airlines
   APA and American Airlines management began negotiations for a new contract in September 2006 after management triggered an “early-opener” provision in the pilots’ contract. This provision gives either party the option to initiate bargaining up to 18 months before the contract’s May 1, 2008 amendable date.
