I watched Bruce cover Watergate for CBS News–he was turned to for perspective the night Nixon resigned–then got to know him slightly when we both followed campaigns in the 1980s and 1990s. He is arguably the best writer ever to cover politics on television.

I remember Bruce Morton from his days as Washington anchorman on the old one-hour “CBS Morning News” (with Hughes Rudd in New York). Back in the day, that show was clearly superior to the “Today” show and “Good Morning America.”

I met Bruce in 1967 when we covered the same story in Maine, he as a correspondent with CBS News, I as an Associated Press reporter, and then I had the privilege of working with him when I joined CBS News seven years later. What a thorough reporter and a master writer he was; his talents will be missed greatly.

From the CBS alumni association congratulations to a man whose words illuminated because his student’s mind was always at work to help us understand the ultimnate question: why?

I was fortunate enough to work with Bruce during his years with CNN. He was a no-nonsense professional journalist, a wonderful writer who could write to pictures with a skill I could only admire. At a time when there so much attention to glitz in hiring for on-screen news jobs, Bruce Morton always stood as a reminder of the halcyon days of TV journalism, when credentials mattered so much more than hair style.

Thanks, Bruce for what you gave to the field you loved.
