This is the real Edward R. Murrow, in his speech regarding media, substance, and most importantly, freedom. He said this during the McCarthy House UnAmerican Committee hearings; many of you may not have heard the original, but it is quoted almost verbatim by David Stratharin in " Good Night and Good Luck."

How pertinent are these words in this time, in this day?

I wish a good night, and good luck, to each and every one of us.

1. He is one of the people I admire. I read this great bio on him a long time ago.

2. Dang, now why haven't I done that?

Thank you for giving me another book to add to my "must read" list.

He was really something, wasn't he?
