Russ Woody does a great job capturing both Murphy Brown and Miles Silverburg flawlessly.

Murphy is on the trail of two Nazis from WW2 and Miles has her assigned to a report with mob connections. Miles insists that she take the story. However, when people start following Miles and he receives his first death threat:

NOT VERBATIM BUT CLOSE ENOUGH Miles: They wanted me to drop the report or they'd kill me

Murphy: But i'm doing the report

Miles: I told them that, but they watch you on TV and they're old fashioned about killing women

After a while, things boil up until the night of the broadcast and no one has seen Miles! They worry but Miles says that he should broadcast it because that's what they do. It's onward with the broadcast and all is well. The man's arrested and it'll be the 8th season by the time he gets out
