Here's another Where's Armand? Fellow: NPR's
Daniel Schorr. This ninety year old award
winning journalist began his career as a
foreign correspondent in 1946 and is still
working in a career that has lasted over six
decades.
"His analysis of current issues is
broadened by his firsthand perspective on
recent history", says Schorr's
NPR biography.
It's the same kind of "I was
there" authority that Armand held which
punctuated his stories so well. Remember Armand's
experiences at the outbreak of World War II?
I wonder how Mr. Schorr would have
answered Armand's letter to the editor of
Time Magazine (April 19, 1999):
Ours has been a full century demanding
answers, glorying in solutions. Somehow the
bigger picture has eluded us. All the
wondrous advances you covered are seen from
inside the reassuring cocoon of the
surrounding universe. No one seems to be
stepping outside to ask the big questions:
Why is there time? Why should there be life,
matter, space? What's the reason for
existence, including that of God? If we
cannot find answers, we are literally
nowhere. Let's admit it, none of us has a
clue. ARMAND E. SINGER Morgantown, W.Va.
I'm sure they would have had a lot to
talk about. Daniel Schorr was introduced to
Twitter this past weekend. When asked if he
had any questions about it he answered, "Yes,
how do I do it?". Within a few hours, Schorr
had over 2,000 followers and I'm one of them!
