a Sunday, June 7, 1987 Hattiesburg AMERICAN People Places Brokaw challenges graduates CULVER, Ind. (AP) NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw has challenged graduates of a military prep school to grow beyond a "yuppie" mentality and become sensitive to the problems facing their generation. Speaking Friday at the commencement of Culver Military, Academy, Brokaw told the graduating cadets to take their leadership skills and use them to improve public education and family life. "You are guardians of the human values we cherish," Brokaw said. "Remember, there is always more than looking good and making a buck." Brokaw, who received the academy's distinguished service award, said he was invited to speak at the school by New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, a Culver alumni who owns a home near this north-central Indiana community.
Anchor announces pregnancy BOSTON (AP) Liz Walker, first black woman evening news co-anchor at WBZ-TV and unmarried, is four months pregnant and plans to raise the child herself. "I am scared, but I am going to handle this," she said. "I am going to get through this." Ms. Walker, 36, daughter of a minister, said the child's father knows about the pregnancy, but she has no plans to marry, The Boston Globe reported Saturday. She declined to say more about him.
Ms. Walker has worked in broadcasting for years and came to WBZ-TV in 1980. "Until this happened, work and everything around my career was the important," she said. "Work is still important, but now that's because I've got to feed the baby, keep it healthy, make sure it's protected and the future remains intact." Comedian's wife awarded CHICAGO (AP) Dolores Hope, wife of famed entertainer Bob Hope, has been awarded a medal for outstanding humanitarianism by Mundelein College of Chicago. The Magnificat Medal presented Friday was last awarded in 1981 to Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
"Her achievements in the entertainment, political and charitable worlds make Dolores an ideal recipient of the prestigious award," Sister Mary Breslin, president of the college, said in a statement. She said the Hopes' four children were taught in Hollywood by Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which also administers Mundelein College. Redford, others honored NEW YORK (AP) Robert Redford, singer Paul Winter and the Public Broadcasting Service are among 91 people and institutions worldwide honored by the United Nations Environment Program for outstanding environmental achievements.

Tolba said Friday in announcing the recipients of the "Global 500 award." Other winners included the National Geographic Society for its efforts to provide environmental information and Sen.

(AP) Shipwreck treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his wife Dolores, both veteran divers, spent their 34th wedding anniversary 30 feet underwater. The Key West couple checked into Jules' Undersea Lodge, an underwater hotel at the bottom of a scenic lagoon, for a private celebration Friday.
