Legendary journalist Roger Mudd spent nearly 20 years covering politics in Washington for CBS News and, later, briefly took over as anchor at NBC.
He worked in an era when a few powerful men ran the airwaves and made his mark with special reports on Watergate, the Civil Rights movement, Vietnam and an interview with Edward Kennedy that ended the then-senator’s bid for the White House.
