reformer. tom brokaw was one of the first western broadcasters to get into china and cover the crisis. tom recently explained how he and cameraman tony wasserman came up with a way to get footage despite total blackout by chinese authorities. >> he was on a bicycle and putting a soft drink box on the back, and i said, we're going to put a camera there, right? he said, absolutely. >> it may be unusual. but it's one of the few ways we can show you life in the streets of beijing without getting in trouble with the authorities. >> we took off not knowing if i was going to get shot or whether we could pull this off or not. and i rode behind tony. i was wired up, and we could sync it up later. and to our surprise, no one stopped us. only one chinese bicyclist bicycled up behind tony, reached in the box and tickled the lens and drove away.
