    22s How has reporting changed, views on 60 Minutes style "You try to get to the core of a story"
    1:50 The 60 Minutes environment, a look at Morley's office. Memories of Ed Bradley
    4:28 The cigarette
    5:23 Memories of people he worked with
    6:34 Ratings, popularity of 60 Minutes
    8:42 12 interviews with Obama, "Why so many?" "Because he says yes."
    9:54 "Do you ever worry about being used?"
    10:14 Don Hewitt, 60 Minutes early days
    13:49 "We do not cover issues, we tell stories".
    16:54 Canada, and parents, brother, sister
    18:31 Working into later life
    20:00 Don Hewitt interview, and working with Hewitt, conflict in workplace
    22:23 Education, football
    23:42 "I knew I wanted to be a journalist" Hemmingway's influence. First jobs in Canada & UK.
    29:13 1963-1964, a call from CBS
    33:10 Memories of Walter Cronkite
    35:19 Discussion of patriotism "Flag-waving by instinct... Not wanting to hear the truth is a total phony patriotism"
    36:26 Discussion of political beliefs influencing journalism "I am a conservative on most issues", "I'm very old-fashioned liberal", "I think the word conservative has been given a really bad name by some of the crazier elements of the right in this country"
    38:57 Discussion of politician as a noble career that improves the country.
    "You've got me going here! The other thing that drives me completely nuts is all of these candidates who are running as 'Not-as-politicians!' They'll point to their opposition and say 'He's a politician! I'm, I don't know, whatever!' Politicians are what makes countries work. The best moments in this country were moments designed, created, by politicians. Its a good positive word, how did it come into such disrespect and disrepute? That's what really drives me nuts. Its the destruction of language. Its making really useful words become inappropriate."
    40:21 Views on internet and journalism "I'm just appalled by half of the stuff that I see on the internet."
    43:25 Walter Cronkite's involvement in politics
    44:47 "The Burning of Cam Ne" and why people turned against the Vietnam war
    47:21 Views on media coverage of Iraq & Afghanistan. Coverage of war.
    48:52 "Vietnam in a certain way was a civilised war, if there is such a thing."
    49:31 Interview style & interest/views on the arts "I like doing stories that no one else is doing."
    52:47 Personal life, marriage, family, Sarah Alice Anne Safer
    57:40 Legacy
    59:20 On writing another book or memoir
    I was looking for info on Eisenhower, and found this interview. There's nothing here about Ike, the title is incorrect. This is an interview with Morley Safer looking back on his career. the interview is worth a listen if you are interested in journalism as a career.

      thank you so much for this comment, I was also doing some research on Eisenhower and his wife in relations to the 2004 washingtonpost article about UFO's but also in correlation with the color pink being associated with feminity. I found this book on color psychology and it has apparently been proven that pink reduces muscle and body strength, as well as lower metabolistic rate, and I'm trying to find more information on what the hell was going on haha

    One of the last generation of reporters who actually would report the facts vs today's who report their opinions disguised as facts. Morley would've flipped out if he saw the CBS 60 minutes hit piece on Florida's governor/covid-19 over the weekend.

      I dont think presenting facts about a mans refusal to believe in a virus is a "hit piece". Especially when the statistics during the pandemic supported it. But I guess that's what you call it when the facts dont align with your beliefs.

    _Questioner: I would really be interested in knowing if Dwight Eisenhower met with either the Confederation or the Orion group in the 1950s?_
    _Ra: I am Ra. The one of which you speak met with thought-forms which are indistinguishable from third density. This was a test. We, the Confederation, wished to see what would occur if this extremely positively oriented and simple congenial person with no significant distortion towards power happened across peaceful information and the possibilities which might append therefrom._
    _We discovered that this entity did not feel that those under his care could deal with the concepts of other beings and other philosophies. Thus an agreement reached then allowed him to go his way, ourselves to do likewise; and a very quiet campaign, as we have heard you call it, be continued alerting your peoples to our presence gradually._
    _Events have overtaken this plan._
    _Is there any short query before we close?_

    You can hear in his voice that he smoked like a chimney. And of course he wasn't a conservative. He was an upper west side/east side liberal who thought that the NY Times editorial page played it right down the middle, was baffled by church going people in the heartland, was protected by his producers and editors, and here he looked like he already had a foot in the grave. A know it all who felt that he was doing the audience of 60 Minutes a huge favor

    That was NOT art in the traditional sense. It may qualify as “industrial art” but not on the level of….say….streamlined passenger locomotives. In other words “floating basketballs” is junk. Might be fit for the Lakers locker room (as a space to through wet towels on).
