Mike Wallace



A new documentary on Mike Wallace is on the way, one of the most fascinating people ever to appear on a television screen.

There was a long history before "60 Minutes" in 1968. He did commercials, game shows and a interview show before landing at CBS News.

There was a personal battle with depression and the loss of a son.

Mike Wallace anchored the "CBS Morning News" in the mid 60's and called it the longest two years of his life.

Mike Wallace helped define investigating journalism, and he threw in a little show business as well.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it.
