  Roger Mudd: The CBS eye on history
Roger Mudd covered some of the country's biggest news stories for CBS News in the 1960s and 70s, including the March on Washington and the Watergate scandal. He went on to work elsewhere, but says his heart was always with what was then known as "The Tiffany Network," and he writes about it in his new book, "The Place to Be: Washington, CBS and the Glory Days of Television News." Roger Mudd recounts his career in an April 8 speech at the Commonwealth Club of California.  Program Archive Podcast Rev.

 You've heard the sound bites. Word for Word gives you a chance to hear from the newsmakers at length. Each week we feature an interesting and timely speech on a hot topic in the news: from the war in Iraq to intelligence-gathering, education reform to immigration. Word for Word strives for balance, featuring top policymakers, thinkers and opinion leaders from the left, right and center. We draw speeches from respected venues like the National Press Club, the Chautauqua Institution, the Aspen Institute and other prestigious institutions across the country. Host Melinda Penkava, a 15-year veteran of public radio, provides the crucial background information and context. Then we open up the microphone and give our influential speakers the time they need to make a nuanced argument.
