R.I.P. Ed Bradley(of 60 Minutes) Ed Bradley of '60 Minutes' Dies
By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, November 9, 2006; 12:08 PM Ed Bradley, the veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent and one of the pioneering black journalists of his generation, died today. He was 65. Bradley, who had won 19 Emmy awards, covered an incredible array of stories after joining the CBS newsmagazine in 1981, from brain cancer to sexual abuse in the Catholic Church to the high school shootings at Columbine. He also reported a number of award-winning documentaries, covered political conventions and filled in on the "CBS Evening News" and other programs. Bradley remained active on "60 Minutes," but he had been ill for some time and underwent heart surgery about a year ago. "He was this gentle giant," said Bob Schieffer, CBS's chief Washington correspondent and a close friend. "He just did so much for so many African-American kids. He was a great role model." **** I'm in shock. | |

It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

But true, Ed had a reputation of being anti-authoritarian. it was pretty much the most famous thing about him (aside from being a 60 minutes reporter). how did you miss that? "The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life. " -- Edith Massey in Female Trouble | |
