Some sad news this week - Mike Wallace is retiring from 60 Minutes at the age of 87.
Wallace is one hell of a reporter, and quite possibly the greatest interviewers working during my lifetime. Although he's been appearing less and less on 60 Minutes recently, if anything he has become even more relentless in his pursuit of the truth - he asks the questions that no CNN "journalist" would dream of asking, and he has an uncanny way of making people answer them.
Thanks, Mike - you've earned your time off. And thanks to 60 Minutes for continuing his standard of journalistic excellence.
