This Just In : What I Couldn't Tell You on TV, by Bob Schieffer (on CD)

I've always liked Bob Schieffer; he always seemed very calm with a faint trace of humor. The book strengthens that sense. He got his start around the time of the Kennedy assassination in 1963, which is also where this book begins. Shieffer is justifiably proud of the history of CBS News from the 50s through the 70s, and very unhappy with the corporate changes of the 80s. However, his career survived Vietnam, Watergate, years at the Pentagon, the presidencies of Carter, Reagan, Bush I and Clinton, and ends just after September 11, 2001.

Good book.
