  • At 8:52 p.m. EDT (7:52 p.m. CDT), programming was interrupted. A CBS News Special Report graphic appears for two seconds; the picture then cuts to Morton Dean, the CBS Evening News weekend anchorman. Dean sat at the desk he usually did the weekend newscasts from. MORTON DEAN: Good evening. This is Morton Dean in New York. CBS News has just learned of a matter of extremely grave national importance and we are now going live to the White House. (CBS cuts to feed of Deputy Press Secretary Larry Speakes in the White House press room, at 8:53 p.m. EDT, giving the announcement of the incoming Soviet missile attack on the United States, and his subsequent collapse after stepping from the podium. The scene cuts back to CBS studios in New York at 8:59 p.m. EDT; sobs are heard in the background, and Dean sits there in stunned silence.) UNKNOWN: Morton!...Morton!...you're on! MORTON! YOU'RE ON!...MORTON!.. (Unknown man, presumably the one just shouting to Dean, runs up to Dean and slaps him across the face). DEAN: My God...ladies and gentlemen, you have just heard the announcement from the White House of incoming missiles from the Soviet Union headed into the United States...I have just been handed a note, stating that...New York mayor Ed Koch has ordered an immediate evacuation of the city....I can only presume this is the case elsewhere. (Dean clears his throat, wipes his eyes) Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to comply with Mayor Koch's order and leave immediately, but to repeat: the White House has announced that the Soviet Union has launched a nuclear attack against the United States. A state of martial law is now in effect and citizens are urged to evacuate likely targeted areas immediately for safer areas. We will now turn over programming to our local affiliates. We wish you godspeed and safety.
