    He was 80 and had a 44-year career in NYC television. The wire obits fail to mention that he was a radio guy on a tryout with WABC-TV in 1967 when they sent him to cover a disturbance that became the famous Newark riots in which 26 people were killed.

    For a white kid interested in issues about race, Like It Is was an eye opening show.

    RIP
