ANCHORING AT THE COVE. The NBC Nightly News team spent the day in Perkins Cove on Monday, Oct. 16, setting up for a brief 15-second news clip as part of a segment on the effects of softening in gas prices and how it has influenced tourism. The team has spent several days in Salem, Mass., Bennington, Vt., and Keene, N.H., and when it was looking for a location for its final clip, anchorman Kerry Sanders, pictured here, thought of Perkins Cove. "When I was a kid we came to Ogunquit," he said Monday. "I worked at the Viking (now Bintliff's) cleaning up the mess of ice cream and hot fudge that spilled on the floor. When we were thinking of a place to end the segment, I said, 'Why not Ogunquit? It's gorgeous.'"
