(c)1988 NBC News -- NBC Universal/Comcast
NBC News at This Hour update for November 10, 1988 anchored by Connie Chung (who would soon leave for CBS by early 1989; a stint that ended with her disastrous run co-anchoring the CBS Evening News alongside Dan Rather).
Stories featured included a statement by outgoing President Ronald Reagan that the budget deficit needed "immediate attention"; while former White House Office of Management and Budget director James Miller said that the issue wouldn't be dealt with until the following fall due to conflicts between the White House and Congress; Vice-President/President-elect George H.W. Bush naming New Hampshire Governor John Sununu as his White House Chief of Staff (likely a thank-you for Sununu's endorsement prior to the New Hampshire primary following Bush taking 3rd place behind Bob Dole and Pat Robertson in Iowa); a development involving Dorothea Puente (charged with 9 murders of residents of the boarding house she ran -- Puente was eventually convicted of 3 of the killings and sentenced to life in prison) denying killing any of her tenants; though admitting she did cash their Social Security checks and finally (on a much-lighter note) more Americans are reported as having more cats than dogs as pets.
