My husband and I met Mike Wallace during a APLA benefit done by the Palm Springs Follies about 7 years ago. He seemed like a very dear man. R.I.P.
Hey Namo my internet connection is pretty slow here at the mountains. Will look at your clip when I am home tomorrow. Hopefully it is not some gay hating thing. He helped raise tons of money for Aids Project LA that year,

It's pretty awful, but it's from 1964. Still, it helped make life pretty miserable for countless people.

Wallace was reporting on the mindset of the day. He was not reporting personal beliefs,

I dunno. He, as co-writer of the script, seemed perfectly happy setting up the Us/Them dynamic, because no viewer could possibly be what one of the people their poll showed was worse for the country than adultery, abortion or prostitution.

In 1992, Mike Wallace was asked about the broadcast, and he responded "I should have known better."
But in 1995, he still maintained that homosexuality could be cured.
In 1996, he further explained, "That is — God help us — what our understanding was of the homosexual lifestyle a mere twenty-five years ago because nobody was out of the closet and because that's what we heard from doctors — that's what Socarides told us, it was a matter of shame."
At the time of the broadcast in 1965, nearly every educated left-of-center intellectual thought the same thing: They thought that all homosexuals were sick--even the nice ones.
That's why Stonewall was so important: the event and what it symbolized. Gay Americans were desperate for something that could change the paradigm.

Plus, he foisted Chris Wallace upon the world.

It's alright now. He's gone. He can no longer do us any harm...

And he used meanness to make Barbra Streisand cry.

That seems to be a journalist trick. Barbara Walters made Delta Burke cry in an interview. And I remember an interview (can't remember who was conducting it) where Angela Lansbury started crying because they made her talk about her children when she didn't want to.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Really!? Barbara Walters made someone cry?
I must have missed that one interview.

I would have loved to see Mike Wallace interview Sarah Palin. Katie Couric would be a Princess compared to what Mike would have done to the quitter from Alaska.
One of Mike's best interviews,in my opinion, was of Johnny Carson. Just brilliant. Say what you will about Mike Wallace but he was from the old school and we no longer have reporters like him around. He was not perfect,but I respect and liked him a lot.

I wonder if he hadn't existed, would somebody else have come along and invented the prosecutorial ambush technique he popularized, the horrors of which we still live with to this day?
