Ed Bradley


Again, I'm behind on the posts, but I've been meaning to post this for some time now... Great story on NPR revealed so many things about Ed Bradley (who died of leukmia in November). Apart from his incredible journalistic accomplishments (one of the last Americans out of Saigon, wounded and crying, getting loaded onto a helicopter; his interview of Lena Horne, in which he seemed to fall in love with her; Cambodian refugee crisis; Oklahoma City bombing; etc, etc), he had an alter ego, "Teddy Badly", who would join his friends on stage for his rendition of "60 Minute Man". Incredibly interesting life...
