Instead, O'Regan was forced out, and the weekly program was soon canceled. And a bevy of inexperienced consultants, who were paid phenomenal sums and housed at the Four Seasons Hotel, applauded Hoagland's concept of four co-anchors, three of them former Christian Science Monitor journalists, in an international round table. Derived from the church's video conferences, the plan for the daily show soon floundered. Hoagland had failed to realize that print reporters needed training for television, and that conversation, even by satellite, does not exploit the medium's visual possibilities.

Producers and staff attended a soul-searching retreat on Cape Cod, to no avail. Julia Malone, hired as Washington anchor, joined her co-anchors in London for a promotional shoot. Checking the rushes later, she found that they had been ruined by accident. The promo was canceled, and everyone flew home. Finally, Hoagland brought in producer Sandy Socolow from 60 Minutes.

"They had gone and built this whole apparatus, bought a lot of equipment, hired a lot of people, and they didn't know what to do," Socolow says. "They were wading into the ocean, and found that the water was deeper than they thought." Socolow scrapped the four-anchor scheme, forfeiting a year's worth of prepaid satellite time, and hired respected newsman John Hart as daily anchor. Without Mrs. Eddy to overrule him, Hoagland ignored Malone's plea to keep "Christian Science" in the program's title. World Monitor made its debut in September 1988 on the Discovery Channel, which offered national exposure.

Even scaled down from Hoagland's original concept, the program cost more than $20 million a year to produce not counting tens of millions of dollars in state-of-the-art equipment and elaborate studios in London, Tokyo, and New York. Several print journalists made the transition to television. Ned Temko, one of the few Christian Science Monitor correspondents who were not church members, reported for World Monitor for two years. "We did make significant strides toward being the television equivalent of the Monitor," says Temko, who now edits the Jewish Chronicle, in London. Other former Christian Science Monitor reporters faced a double adjustment: to television and a non-Scientist milieu.

Assigned to the World Monitor's London bureau, Sara Terry found that some colleagues ridiculed the church. She was shocked to hear one non-Scientist producer say, referring to a Christian Science couple convicted of manslaughter because their child had died under a practitioner's care, "Hanging is too good for the Twit-chells." When Terry suggested a feature about the environmental impact of a proposal to dam the Loire River, So-colow's answer reflected a departure from the Christian Science Monitor's proactive philosophy. "When the dams are built," he wrote, "and after damage has been done, let's go back HIGH QUALITY SOLID OAK TABLES ON SALE EXTENSION TABLE wrtWO 12" LEAVES 10-20 OFF ALL TABLES OAK PLATFORM BEDS sSJe 10-20 OFF available in cherry Offer expires 53092 and does not apply to previous sales.
