houstonmacbro Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 i had seen him on an interview a few weeks back on 60 minutes (i think it was an interview with the alleged duke rape case victim's friend.. wow, that was a mouthful). i knew he wasn't completely well, but i had no idea he was sick.ed bradley was one of my heroes and inspirations. i think he brought a slightly different (and much needed) depth and perspective to journalism.he will be greatly missed by me and many, many others.
