Reaching for the Rafters
</hdr><body>
<p>By Richard Zoglin
</p>
<p> Her return was ballyhooed more fervently than Gorbachev's
comeback from the Crimea, but KATIE COURIC proved herself up to
the hype. When the perky co-host of NBC'S Today show resumed her
place on the couch Monday after a well-publicized two-month
maternity leave, she did it all. Doubled forward with interest,
like the most attentive date you've ever had, she quizzed
Katharine Hepburn about her early days as an actress. Eyes
narrowing ever so slightly in concern, she probed Secretary of
Defense Dick Cheney about whether the U.S. still needs the B-2
bomber. Zoning out helpfully, she lobbed puffballs ("Did you
ever dream you'd be so successful?") at radio deejays Mark and
Brian, stars of a new NBC series. And, of course, she brought
baby pictures. After years of experimentation, network
television may have finally developed the perfect morning-show
host: smart but unassuming, cute but not plastic, the girl next
door with a grin that reaches for the rafters. What's more, she
gets along with both Bryant and Willard. Who was that Jane
person anyway?
