Mike Wallace Cbs Quotations

Covering Richard Nixon's triumphant run in 1968 turned out to be my last major assignment as a general correspondent for CBS News. In September of that year, '60 Minutes' made its debut and I began the best, the most fulfilling job a reporter could imagine.

When I came to CBS it was the mother church. I mean that was - everybody wanted to go to work for CBS News.

My 40 years with CBS News have been a fascinating voyage of discovery. Thirty-seven years with '60 Minutes' have given me the chance to travel the globe, meet and report on world issues, and broadcast what I've learned to an audience at home that had long trusted CBS News reporters like Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid.

I'll be available when asked for whatever chores CBS News, '60 Minutes,' 'The Evening News,' et cetera, have in mind for me.
