This just in : what I couldn't tell you on TV

Schieffer, Bob (Author).

Summary: An engaging memoir in which Schieffer recalls his career trajectory from a newspaper reporter in Fort Worth, Texas, to a failed bid to replace Walter Cronkite as anchor of CBS Evening News, to his tenure on the respected Sunday-morning news show. He shares off-camera moments with some of the most powerful politicians and journalists in the nation, including his long friendship with fellow Texan Dan Rathers. In his career, Schieffer has covered wars, seen presidents come and go, witnessed the ups and downs of White House relations with the press, observed the rise and fall of the powerful and the petty, and covered Washington from the White House, Pentagon, State Department, and Capitol Hill.
