As I seem to recall, he had a "difficult" relationship with his father. Of course that may just have been my impression, but I thought I had read that somewhere.

It could not have been a happy occasion when he told his father he was going to work for Fox. The elder Wallace may have been a pragmatist, for all I know, but surely he could not have condoned the kind of hack reporting and overt propaganda that Faux is famous for.

It is difficult, I'm sure, to live in the shadow of a very famous and accomplished parent. So, I will tread gingerly with the whole issue of the son today. But, I can't help but wonder about him...
