From the Paper:

"Until Bob's injury, he and Lee were an enviable young celebrity couple with four children. Lee was a powerful public relations executive and freelance writer. Bob was a rising star broadcast journalist who replaced Jennings as co-anchor of "ABC's World News Tonight." His career pulled him away from his family for long periods of time and put a terrible strain on the marriage. Nonetheless, Bob and Lee loved each other and met every challenge life threw at them. Then, less than a month after he took over as co-anchor, their lives changed "in an instant" when the tank Bob and cameraman Doug Vogt were riding in was hit. Shrapnel pierced Bob's brain and he suffered a traumatic brain injury that nearly killed him. His brain swelled ''out of his head like a giant tumor.''"
