Mr Schorr is being remembered as the last of Edward R. Murrow's legendary CBS team who was still fully active in journalism. He was a journalist for more than sixty years. As a foreign correspondent, he reported from Moscow; Havana; Bonn, Germany; and other cities, breaking important stories during the Cold War. During the Watergate Scandal, he was CBS' chief Watergate correspondent. The AP reports--

"Hoping to beat the competition, (Mr. Schorr) rushed to the air with Nixon's famous "enemies list" and began reading the list of 20 to viewers before previewing it. As he got to No. 17, he discovered his name. 'I remember that my first thought was that I must go on reading without any pause, or gasp or look of wild surmise,' he wrote in his book 'Clearing the Air.' --'I do not know how well I carried off my effort to appear oblivious to the discovery of my name on an ominous-looking list, but I count this one of the most trying experiences in my television career.'."

Mr. Schorr won many journalism awards..His long career ended with his death. He was a senior news analyst and commentator for NPR on the day he died. Years ago, I met Mr. Schorr and had two very brief conversations with him.
