Corrupted by power/Washington? Early TV work with a program called “The Twentieth Century, “ old newsreels of everything from Ataturk to Mao was a staple on Sunday evenings at our house from the earliest days I can remember (followed by “Man and the Challenge” at least some of those years.) His visit with Eisenhower to the graves at Normandy on the twentieth anniversary was great television. Then he got the idea he should be leading opinion and became a top-drawer media crook.
I remember many of those, and I have a vivid memory of him sitting in an Army Jeep with Eisenhower looking out over Normandy Beach talking about the invasion. Too bad he went liberal after all of that.
