In his show, 'See It Now,' he took on the Cold War, McCarthy, polio, Korea, the rebuilding of Europe, the health effects of smoking 10 years before anybody else did. He was way ahead of everybody. It is somewhat ironic that he founded the magazine shows, but when he did them they were addressing the principal and most controversial news stories of the time. Now those same types of shows focus on crime and celebrities, or promote the network's sitcoms by interviewing starlets. Bob Edwards
