The only thing Roger and I can do isHry to do the best possible job of covering the news." So what changes can we expect in the new Nightly News," as anchored by Brokaw and Mudd? 'V "Well, aside from a brand-new studio set, what you see. won't be all that shockingly different fromwhat NBC has been doing all along." Brokaw declared.
"Frankly, in a half -hour broadcast, there isn't a hell of a' lot of room for changes. We've simply gotta be hotly competitive on the big i breaking stories. We'll continde doing the 'Special which are distinctive to NBC; John Chancellor will do live commentaries as often as possible, which will be new for "And I think we've got to keep doing a better job of reporting on econom- ics. We have to find ways to report tnis very complicated story more coherently. But by and large, I think President Reagan's complaint (about biased TV coverage of the economy) is ill-founded.
When unemployment is 9 percent, that's a major news story; it's the worst unem-' ployment since 1941, and we can't very well ignore that." Brokaw also hopes to use, his influence to persuade NBC to develop more stories about topics that traditionally have been considered "soft or "back-of-the-book" items. "We need to improve our coverage in the area of science and technological development," he said. "This enormous explosion in, home computers, for example, is a very intriguing story. "Also, from time to timclwe really ought to do a cultural segment on the newscast. By that, don't mean let's do an excerpt, of a performance by the Chicago Symphony; I'm about' trends in human behavior, fashion and design, magazine and book; publishing.
I no longer consider that to be 'back-of-the-book' stuff. Gary Deeb isca TV critic for the Chicago SunTimes. Alexis By FRED ROTHENBERG AP Television Writer Blake and Krystle Carxington were happily married when ABC's "Dynasty" entered its second season last November at least as happily married as soap opera writers will ever let their main characters get. for the second season, sultry actress Joan Collins was hired to play Blake's ex-wife Alexis, and nobody expected her to spend her time playing Parcheesi. i Last year, the main love; triangle Involved Bo Hopkins as Matthew Blaisdel.
Krystle spent the year anguishing- between Matthew and Blake. But Hopkins left the show. Befitting the facile construction of all moving parts on these serials, the call went out for a replacement, another warm body. Miss Collins answered, and Krystle Carrington hasn't had a moment's, peace since. Alexis has used every soap-opera trick to win back Blake: back-stabbing, treachery and taunting.
She even infuriated her adversary by taking flowers from Krystle's garden and using them as models for her paintings. Best bets John Forsythe (left) and Linda Evans Blake and Krystle Carrington of 'Dynasty' flame. In the sixth episode, Alexis spotted Krystle riding her horse. The evil villains in. soap operas must have some sixth sense because, instantly, she saw another golden opportunity.
She fired a gunshot, frightening the horse. Krystle was dumped and lost her baby. Having destroyed that link between Krystle and Blake, Alexis enacted the second part of her scheme. She revived an old affair with a Middle Eastern oil. tycoon, who controlled the source of Carrington crude.
She used that leverage tp entice Blake to On Monday evening, Tom Brokaw and Roger Mudd took- over as the anchormen of 'NBC Night- 1 ly News." In a system reminiscent of the legend ary "Huntley-Brinkley Re-, port" of the 1950s and '60s, Brokaw sits in New York, while Mudd is perched in Washington. And both are taking dead aim at Dan Rather and "The CBS Evening News," which continues as the network news audience leader. In light of that fierce but friendly competition for viewers, Brokaw re-. ceived a congratulatory telegram the other day from Van Gordon Sauter, president of rival pBS News. "It was very nice," Bro- kaw said.
"He wished me good luck and then he closed by saying, 'May you anchor a broadcast that's journalistically i proud and always in second place." Brokaw chuckled over note, but there's no doubt that he and Mudd and their NBC superiors fervently believe that the Peadock Network now has its; finest chance in 13 years to overtake CBS in the -nightly news "Gospel According to Nielsen." Since last year, when Walter Cronkite retired from the nightly anchor racket, CBS and Rather have been somewhat vulnerable to the challenges of "NBC Nightly News" and ABC's "World News Tonight." Indeed, for sev-v eral weeks last summer and fall, both NBC and ABC temporarily leapfrogged past CBS in the viewer derby. But starting around Thanksgiving, 1 Rather seemed to get a second wind; From that point forward, he and "The CBS Evening News" have scored 22 straight weekly victories In the audience ratings leaving NBC and ABC to fight for the privilege of playing runnerup. Now. however, with ijohn Chancellor stepping aside after 12 years of anchordom, Brokaw and Mudd are being counted on as NBC's key to re- claiming the No. 1 Nielsen status that David Brinkley and the late Chet Huntley enjoyed for 13 years ending in 1969.
"I hope it works out that Brokaw said. "But we'll see.

Dr. Nick Toscanni. Why consummate the relationship when being on the precipice will work even better week after week? Nick and Krystle haven't had an affair either, but that didn't stop Alexis from sending Blake a poison pen letter saying they had. Krystle. of course, found the letter and verbally confronted Alexis in the 13th episode.
But she didn't get physically violent until two weeks later (March 3) when she learned that Alexis fired the shot that caused her miscarriage. That was some scratching, mauling catfight. Both survived to hate another day, and tonight Alexis hatches another plan. But it won't work. At least not now.
On May 5, "Dynasty's" final episode this season, Blake and Krystle still will be married. But not as happily and probably not ever after. i COST RESERVATIONS $1695 $16 95 $16.99 $16 95 $16 95 $16 95 876-4121 342-0 Ifc6 829-6969 654-3131 Children: The World's Most Fabulous Resource 7:00 p.m. Ch. 22 GETOliTHEBUSTO THEHOPICAMA AND GETOFFVVITH $15.00: Dean Jones discusses the needs of forgotten The Thames 9:00 p.m.
