dirac Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I, too. I noticed he’d been looking a little thin lately but never thought of anything like this. Always enjoyed watching him. Link to comment
zerbinetta Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Very sad, indeed. An elegant man & a strong intellectual presence where one is sorely needed. Link to comment
carbro Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 A tough professional wiht a gentle spirit. His visit -- it sure didn't feel like your normal "interview" -- with Aretha Franklin was unforgettable. He could often be seen scooting around the Upper West Side, always looking like a man -- a very dashing man -- on a mission. I'll miss him. Link to comment
Renata Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ed Bradley was a great journalist. In the 1970s, he was my sister's next door neighbor in Washington, DC, so I guess I followed his career more closely than I would have otherwise. I remember his reporting on the fall of Viet Nam. What courage it must have taken for him to stay there until the end. Later he would have national fame, going onto 60 Minutes. I feel as though I grew up and got older with on Ed Bradley. I will miss his reporting and his presence. Link to comment
sandik Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 This news makes me very sad -- Bradley was an excellent journalist, a great interviewer and a very engaging presence on the screen. Link to comment
