I just watched Bob Schieffer of CBS Evening News wish the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram a Happy 100th Birthday. That's where he got his start as a reporter. Well, dang! I protest. We passed the century mark 15 or so years ago, but I don't recall our television-oriented alums, Tony Snow or David Boul, making a big deal about it.

Apparently, the brand of scotch you sent them wasn't aged enough. You need to send better gifts. (Alert: it's early, but that's a joke.)

Schieffer's book describes some fascinating times while at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
His tenure there led to an exclusive with Oswald's widow, Schieffer meeting his wife, and extended coverage on the ground in Vietnam.
It's a good read (or listen).
