Postcard From Nebraska
Dannebrog, Neb.
Charles Kuralt gathered friends around him like a family at CBS News Sunday Morning. (No, people like John Leonard, Bill Geist and me were not essayists for Charles simply because of our rugged good looks!) The best description I heard of John's work was from a friend in Oklahoma who couldn't remember John's name. "You know..." he sputtered, "that guy...the one who uses big words...the one you can't understand but you can tell from the way he says it that you agree with him." We all agreed with John, even when we didn't agree with him ["John Leonard," Dec. 8].
