We learned of the death, at age 93, of journalist David Culhane, who had served as a correspondent for CBS News and NPR. In this "Sunday Morning" story that originally aired September 4, 1994, Culhane reported on efforts to rescue a lighthouse on Block Island, which was in danger of falling into the sea, by moving the nearly 2,000-ton structure back from eroding cliffs.
