| Quote: |
Morley Safer, an intrepid storyteller and interviewer whose name became synonymous with the newsmagazine "60 Minutes," has died. He was 84.
Safer was the longest-serving correspondent in "60 Minutes" history. He joined the CBS program in 1970, just two years after it launched, and worked there ever since, contributing 919 reports over the years. He filed his last report in March.
CBS announced Safer's retirement last week and televised a special hour-long retrospective about his career on Sunday. The timing of the announcement was partly due to Safer's poor health. |

I haven't watched 60 minutes in years but I think everyone I remember from the 60 minutes intro, "I'm Mike Wallace, I'm Ed Bradley, etc. etc. and this is 60 minutes." except for Diane Sawyer are all dead now.

| Read that he was one of the reporters that brought light to the atrocities being committed in Vietnam. A legend. RIP. God Bless. |
