Quote:Veteran CBS journalist Mike Wallace died Saturday evening at the age of 93, CBS announced Sunday morning.

Wallace was on the founding staff of "60 Minutes" and quickly became known for his tough interviews.

"It was 65 years from Mike's first appearance on camera -- a World War II film for the Navy -- to his last television appearance, a '60 Minutes' interview with Roger Clemens, the baseball star trying to fight off accusations of steroid use," colleague Morley Safer wrote in a tribute on CBSNews.com.

RIP.

Today's "journalists" could use a lesson from Mike. Too many think a tough interview requires badgering and/or pontificating. Just ask the right questions in the right way then get out of the way and let the "witness" hoist themselves on their own petard.

RIP Mr. Wallace. Don't be too hard on St. Peter when he "interviews" you.

Mike Wallace was not afraid to take on the truth. May he RIP.

I always liked watching his interviews - he knew what he was doing and he was damned good at it.

Rest peacefully, Mr. Wallace.
