A couple of weeks ago, a man was murdered right across the street from Steve Harrigan's house in Miami Beach. ''Unsettling,'' the Fox News correspondent admits. So a chance to get out of town on assignment sounded pretty good. Unfortunately, the assignment was covering Russian tanks rolling into the beleaguered nation of Georgia -- and on Friday, Harrigan found himself a target when somebody started shooting at reporters. His mile-long sprint to safety was caught on camera. ''It wasn't as dramatic as facing a tank, but still, you don't run like that every day,'' he says by telephone from Tbilisi. His reporting, along with that of Dana Lewis from Moscow, is the backbone of Russia: The Angry Giant, a special airing on Fox News Channel at 8 p.m. Sunday.
