Was stunned to see the breaking news email come over last Thursday at work that Ed Bradley had passed away at 65. I, as millions of others, had no idea he was ill.
The last time I saw him was reporting on the Duke Lacrosse story on CBS Evening News early into the Couric era. I don't remember him looking or sounding out of sorts.
I'm so sorry to hear of this----not just a barrier-breaker for African-Americans in journalism, but one of the greatest reporter/interviewers ever.
Asked the tough questions, used body language (his) to his advantage, knew that he wasn't the story, knew exactly how to do it right.
Rest in Peace, Ed, and thanks.
