Update

By Elizabeth Salemme

KIMBERLY DOZIER, the CBS correspondent critically wounded in an explosion while reporting from Iraq in May, was released from a rehabilitation facility in Maryland last week. The blast killed her camera crew and left Dozier with wounds to her head, legs and lower body. "I'm up on crutches and can even manage with a cane," she said in a written statement last week. "It's not pretty, but I'm walking on my own."

ABC newsman BOB WOODRUFF is also making strides, after suffering serious head and upper-body injuries from a roadside bomb in Iraq in January. The former co-anchor of the network's World News Tonight, who continues to spend time in cognitive rehab, participates in morning editorial calls, and last month recorded a voice-over for a rebroadcast of a Nightline report about North Korea that he worked on last year. "He's doing great," says an ABC News spokeswoman. "He is putting his efforts toward coming back to work."
