first and foremost: don hewitt.broadcast would have folded long ago. mike wallace: tough, funny, difficult, the beating heart of "60 minutes." it made his day to walk through an airport and hear people say, as they often did, "give 'em hell, mike." morley safer spent 46 years here, longer than anyone. a sophisticate right down to his pocket squares, he was a great writer, and a gentleman, in a business populated by a fair number of maniacs. ed bradley: versatile, compassionate, always the coolest guy in the room. when i was growing up, there was hardly anybody who looked like me on television news. and along came ed, paving the way for me and many others. bob simon was proud of the fact that in nearly a half century traveling the world for cbs news, he never missed a single flight. he did his last story with the same curiosity and energy as the first. and finally, andy rooney, who spent 33 years here as the resident grouch. since this was his spot in the broadcast, we cede the floor, and let andy speak for himself.
