Mike Wallace has died at age 93

[PCIntern]

14. when I was kid I watched him on the show "Biography",

and used to learn a lot about a lot of people - it was one of those shows which gave people some general sense about famous individuals AND contributed to the viewer's breadth of knowledge such that as a 12 year old, if some referenced Madame Chiang Kai-shek, one didn't give that blank look of "WHO?"

My Progressive family was not thrilled with the manner in which Wallace interviewed those on the Left in the Fifties and early Sixties, but in retrospect, he, like Cronkite, also had much more common sense and knowledge of history and journalism than most of the anchors today.

Fascinating life, fascinating guy. He was almost the last of his era...Murrow, Collingswood, Huntley, Brinkley, McGee, and many many others, now only seen on Youtube...
