From the N.Y. Times obituary for Fred Graham, who died on Saturday an the age of 88:
In 1972, he joined CBS as the network’s law correspondent. Over 15 years, he became a familiar face to Americans, pioneering coverage of Supreme Court rulings for the transitory attention of television viewers. While with CBS, he reported on the Watergate scandal; the resignation of former President Richard M. Nixon; and the legal struggles over abortion rights, racial preferences in college admissions and protections for criminal defendants.

I always liked Fred Graham's reporting. I was also glad he demonstrated that you don't have to loose your Southern accent to report on national television.
