Online condolences may be offered at www. stanetskyhymansonsalem.com By Jasper Craven GLOBE CORRESPONDENT On a particularly slow night in the mid-1980s when no stories were breaking, Dick Molinari, an assignment editor for Channel 5 in Boston, decided to play a trick on the TV news competition. In a radio transmission to cameraman Stanley Forman and reporter Susan Wornick, he began spinning out a narrative of a fictitious news event. "He was talking to us in code, and he knew everyone else was listening to us," said Wornick, who worked with Mr.

Molinari for more than 30 years. "The goal was to get the other stations to think we were on to something. We talked about the feds, special agents, and undercover cars." Within 40 minutes, Mr. Molinari's phone was lighting up with calls from officials wondering about the big story. Channel 5 also fielded calls from other stations, Wornick said, and even federal authorities were asking quizzically, "What do you guys got going on?" Mr.

Molinari, an award-winning assignment editor who spent more than four decades at WHDH-TV in Dorchester and WCVB-TV in Needham, died of pneumonia Feb. 17 in Concord Health Care Center in Concord. He was 73 and had lived in Medford and Stoneham. Although he liked to have a good laugh, sometimes at the expense of eager competitors, Mr. Molinari worked quickly and efficiently when news broke and he demanded the best from his staff.

"He had a tremendous sense of logistics," said David Gwiz-dowski, a former WCVB producer who met Mr. Molinari in 1979. "It's as if he had Google Glasses on and all the information was right in front of him. He moved faster than anyone in town." One of four children, Joseph R. Molinari was born in Boston and was known to friends and relatives as Dick.

He grew up in a working-class family in Medford. His father, Joseph died when Mr. Molinari was in his teens. After that his mother, the former Anne Burke, supported the family by working at the state Registry of Motor Vehicles. Mr.

Molinari sped quickly toward adulthood, meeting his future wife, Ann Marie Doherty, when he was stopped at a red light in a car packed with his buddies. Ann was in the car would compete with each other. While other stations coveted the newest cameras and equipment, Mr. Molinari focused on good reporters who knew how to connect with the public. "Dick was a part of that news generation that stressed personal connection," Bent said.

A lifelong athlete whose height topped 6 feet, Mr. Molinari was a daunting presence. Reporters knew that if they didn't impress him it could mean being sent outside to cover a snowstorm instead of reporting on a bill in the comparatively cozy halls of the State House. "He moved from film editing to the assignment desk because of his ability to lead people, and his knowledge of the city," Gwiz-dowski said. "He was the spiritual leader of the newsroom." When Mr.

Molinari retired, his priority was to surround himself with his family. He traveled around the world with his wife and other relatives, coached his nephew's Little League team, and spent time with his grandchildren. Before being diagnosed with an aggressive form of Alzheimer's disease several years ago, he also had volunteered for a hospice organization and at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Medford. A service has been held for Mr. Molinari, who in addition to his wife and daughter leaves another daughter, Donna Frano of Pembroke; a son, John of Methuen; two sisters, Jane Nestor of Salem, N.H., and Judith Molinari Wynn of Georgetown; a brother, James of Burlington; and six grandchildren.

Mr. Molinari generally kept his work and personal life separate, save for the news quizzes he would spring on his children at dinner. He mostly worked nights, and was away from his family during much of the week. But his assignment desk was situated behind the news anchor's desk, and his children sometimes glimpsed their father during newscasts. Late in his career, Mr.

Molinari made a point of walking in view of the camera during the morning news and pulling on his ear, a secret signal to his grandchildren who were watching. "His gruffness would scare you off at first," Bent said, "but he was a big teddy bear underneath." Jasper Craven can be reached atjasper.cravenglobe.com. Mr. Molinari's children could sometimes get a glimpse of their father during TV newscasts. next to them, which was filled with girls who attended Chev-erus Centennial School.

"He wanted her information, but she didn't give it out to him," said their daughter Patricia Venti of Shirley. "But her friends told my dad who she was. That's how they met, and he pursued her." They married in Medford in 1960, before Mr. Molinari turned 20. The couple had three children before he was 24.

After graduating from Medford High School in 1958, Mr. Molinari began working as a film librarian for WHDH-TV. A short time later, he was promoted to film editor, and supplemented his earnings by working other odd jobs to support his family. In 1972, when Channel 5 became WCVB-TV and moved to Needham, Mr. Molinari stayed on as a film editor.

He later was promoted to assignment editor and then to chief assignment editor. He retired as chief assignment editor in 2000. A section of the noon newscast on Mr. Molinari's last day remembered him as a pioneering force during the station's infancy. "It was like having a father in the newsroom, or your favorite professor," said Nancy Bent, an assignment editor at WCVB who met Mr.

Molinari when she worked as an intern for him in 1981. "He always taught about the value of news. When a story would break, he could think of so many angles to cover it." During the Blizzard of 1978, Mr. Molinari spent days holed up in the station's newsroom during news coverage. And as an assignment editor, Mr.

Molinari was unrelenting in his desire to get the best story. He often sent two camera crews to a crime scene when details crackled over the police scanner, ensuring that his staff tions in Vietnam, Mr. Schell wrote for decades about the consequences of violence real and potential with a rage and idealism that never seemed to wane. He wrote for The New Yorker, Newsday, and The Nation among others, and published several books, notably "The Village of Ben Sue" about Vietnam and "The Fate of the Earth," published in 1982 during a tense time of the Cold War. "The machinery of destruction is complete, poised on a hair trigger, waiting for the 'button' to be 'pushed' by some misguided or deranged human being or for some faulty computer chip to send out the instruction to fire," Mr.

Schell wrote in the book, which drew upon a series of articles for The New Yorker. "That so much should be balanced on so fine a point that the fruit of four and a half billion years can be undone in a careless moment is a fact against which belief rebels." Although some reviewers found Mr. Schell's book shrill and overstated, "Fate of the Earth" had a powerful impact on public awareness of nuclear weapons and received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. "There are moments when it seems to hurtle, almost out of control, across an extraordinary range of fact and thought," Kai Erickson wrote in The New PASCOE, Sarah F.
