REF: "Mike Wallace dies; veteran journalist and former ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent was 93"* by Adam Bernstein, Washington Post 4/8/2012
"Remembering Mike Wallace, Legendary '60 Minutes' Interrogator" PBS Newshour 4/9/2012
SUMMARY
A Mike Wallace* interview was often harsh, unsympathetic even. The "60 Minutes" icon was never reluctant to confront the feared or the famous -- from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini to Malcolm X to pitcher Roger Clemens. Wallace, 93, died Saturday. Morley Safer and Jeff Fager of CBS reflect on Wallace's career with Jeffrey Brown.
Excerpt
MIKE WALLACE, "60 Minutes:" I don't understand. They must be ashamed of something.
MAN: What is this?
MIKE WALLACE: This is "60 Minutes."
KWAME HOLMAN (Newshour): The Mike Wallace interview was legendary as the answers it elicited. And his career was indelibly linked to "60 Minutes," the pioneering CBS News program he joined at its inception in 1968.
