| biography:
| Broadcast journalist, born in Velva, North Dakota, USA. He worked at the Minneapolis Journal and was city editor for the Paris Herald Tribune before joining CBS Radio (1939). He served as national correspondent and commentator for the CBS Evening News until 1977. Often characterized as the brightest of ‘Murrow's boys’ at CBS, he had a weakness for vaguely ‘deep’ speculations about the human condition, about which he grew increasingly disillusioned as he aged. He published his memoirs, Not So Wild A Dream, in 1976. |
