This week's issue of TV Guide claims that many TV networks and newspeople
are jockeying for the position of covering a future Shuttle mission . .
as passengers.  The big mission will be covering the flyby of Halley's 
Comet, using the Shuttle as an observation platform.  But there is also
talk of putting a reporter in orbit before then.  Walter Cronkite, Jules
Bergman and many other well-known news folk are said to have volunteered.
