CBS News's broadcast retrospective on the Harmonic Convergence, the August 1987 New Age gathering event. Its strength is that it comes from a reputable national news organization revisiting its own contemporaneous 1987 coverage, giving a documented record of how the event was reported at the time. Its limit is that it is broadcast journalism, not a scholarly account, so it is used here for the event's basic facts and timing rather than for any deeper analysis of its significance within New Age religious movements.
