Mike Wallace could make mistakes, but I'm convinced he always made an honest effort to get at the truth. http://www.scoreexchange.com/profiles/Lelia_Loban To hear the audio, click on the "Scorch Plug-In" box above the score.

Or a network with the integrity (Not the first word that comes to mind) to employ him. You say "Wicked" , like it's a bad thing.

It was during an era in which I actually made pilgrimages into Manhattan to see independent and foreign films, etc. I was tired of the usual mall fodder. Other films from this era included THE WHALES OF AUGUST, WINGS OF DESIRE, BABETTE'S FEAST and some others of which the titles escape me. Didn't see Mike Wallace at any of them.
