Security was also another factor. Mr. Brinkley and the network trusted me to not put him or anyone else in jeopardy and they didn't wish to be assigned any 'big eared muscle'.

Gene Walsh, Vice President of the NBC News Press also valued my judgement in such matters. He made it possible for me to have similar duties during several World Series. Like they say, 'it's who ya know and who knows you.'
