LOS ANGELES -
Ted Koppel solemnly read aloud the names of American soldiers killed
in the Iraq war during an unusual edition of ABC's "Nightline" Friday
night.

There was no music, no graphic flourishes.
Name followed name, photo followed photo, with two Americans' pictures
on the screen at any given moment.
Some of the 721 faces looked determined.
Others were smiling.
Koppel's recitation - illustrated with corresponding photo, military
branch, rank and age of each of the fallen since March 19, 2003 -
occupied the expanded 40-minute news show.

David D. Smith, president and chief executive officer of Sinclair
Broadcast Group, was arrested this week in his hometown of Baltimore
and charged with a misdemeanor sex offense.
Sinclair owns WPGH, the Fox affiliate in Pittsburgh, and programs most
of WPTT.
The Baltimore Sun reported that Smith, 45, was arrested Tuesday night
in an undercover sting at a downtown corner frequented by prostitutes.
On Thursday night, Sinclair issued a statement that Smith's arrest was
unrelated to company business and ''The company will continue to
operate under the direction of its current management.''

The president of Baltimore-based Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., which
owns the local Fox television affiliate, was arrested Tuesday night
and charged with committing a perverted sex act in a company-owned
Mercedes, city police said.
David Deniston Smith, 45, of the 800 block of Hillstead Drive in
Timonium, who also is Sinclair's chief executive, was arrested in an
undercover sting at Read and St. Paul streets, a downtown corner
frequented by prostitutes, Baltimore police said yesterday.
Smith and Mary DiPaulo, 31, were charged with committing unnatural and
perverted sex act.
Smith was held overnight at the Central Booking and Intake Center and
released on personal recognizance at 2 p.m. yesterday.
DiPaulo's bail status was not available.
Officials at WBFF-TV (Fox 45) and Sinclair, one of the fastest-growing
broadcasting companies in the nation with 28 television and 34 radio
stations, would not comment yesterday.
The company had $126 million in sales in the first half of this year.
Police said undercover Officer Gary Bowman, on a prostitution detail,
was talking to DiPaulo about 9: 15 p.m. in a car at St. Paul and Read
streets.
She left the undercover car after telling Bowman that ``she had just
seen her regular date driving in the area,'' according to court
documents.
Police said DiPaulo ran across the street to a 1992 Mercedes,
registered to Sinclair, and got in on the passenger side.
Police followed the car onto the Jones Falls Expressway, where they
said they witnessed the two engage in oral sex while Smith drove
north.
Police said they followed the car back to Read and St. Paul streets,
where they arrested Smith and DiPaulo, who lives in the 700 block of
Washington Blvd.
