Ed Bradley, longtime CBS News journalist and 60 Minutes correspondent, died today at age 65. Bradley had been diagnosed with leukemia some years ago, but a recent infection made his condition life-threatening.
Bradley, who grew up in Philadelphia, had covered the Vietnam War and was a White House correspondent for CBS in the 1970s. Bradley won 19 Emmy Awards for a range of topics, an interview with Timothy McVeigh, Chinese forced-labor camps and a recent segment about the reopening of Emmett Till's murder case. He also won a Peabody Award for a story about Africans dying of AIDS.
The CBS News story has links to Bradley's stories and video. CBS News blog Public Eye has a post about working with Bradley and here's the Wikipedia entry about Bradley.

Very, very sad. Classy guy.
I remember my parents watching "60 Minutes" every Sunday growing up, and they always liked his segments. As I grew up, I always enjoyed watching his segments, when I actually watched "60 Minutes"
He will be missed.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bradley, thank you for your work and you will be missed. :(
This is very sad news. I grew up watching "60 Minutes" because my parents tuned in every Sunday after dinner. My dad loved Ed Bradley.
Bradley was the epitome of sophistication and journalistic integrity and intelligence. May his soul rest in peace.
I bumped into him having dinner at Sylvia's awhile back. A classy cat and a solid reporter. He will be missed.
AND NOW...for the conspiracy:
Last night, when signing off, I couldn't help but here some ominous portence in Brian williams comment:
"Ed Bradley, a very private man in a very public profession..."
What does that mean? It almost sounded like a bit of a barb. Like a hint. Like maybe there was something more to his private life that Williams (and others) knew.
Hmmmm...so my 0veractive imagination took hold, and I couldn't help but wonder what I always wonder about public figures who die young...of disease...that affects your immune system...the opposite of leukemia so to speak...hmmmm...
Could it be?
Also, the UFO graffiti truck atop this page is a beautiful sight...I say god bless you, you dirty, ink-stained giant of public art, you!
He died of the "80s New York Bathhouse" disease -- or at least is the word around town...
Ah-ha! So it was AIDS...
Well then, that makes Brian Williams a real fucking asshole in my opinion. What a smug fucking dick to say something THAT tasteless about a classy guy like Bradley...
On his end, he did actually cover his intention of calling him a 'AIDS infested faggot' by saying that Bradley's WIFE and KIDS were in his thoughts.
Can we vote out primetime anchors?
I just vommitted.
