NEW YORK — A spokesman says CBS newsman Mike Wallace, famed for his tough interviews on "60 Minutes," has died. He was 93.
Wallace was on the staff of "60 Minutes" when it began in 1968, and was one of its mainstays from then on.
He retired as a regular correspondent in 2006 but continued contributing occasional reports.
Wallace was known for spending hours preparing for interviews and for his skeptical follow-up questioning.

Growing up, I thought this guy was the best investigative thorn in peoples sides. I loved the way he used to question the absurdity of the things he was told or uncovered. Miss this type of journalistic integrity.
Cant believe he was 93. Geez time is flying. Thanks for finding this clay.
