CAPsule October 2000 – In a blast from the past…..former Anchor Mike Yaworski reports from New York City…..”I’m working for an ABC program called “Business Now” in which I’m one of their correspondents.  Hard to believe but I’m actually on air in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington and a couple of other markets.  The work is quite intense….and extremely challenging because it’s all about emerging technologies.”
