Roger Mudd joined CBS in 1961, so when the congressional correspondent, became a legend covering the historical Senate debate on the 1964 Civil Right Work. Appearing at the steps of Congress every morning, noon, and night time for the twelve weeks of filibuster, he founded a reputation as a leading political reporter. Mudd was one of half a dozen major figures in the stable of CBS Reports broadcasters at a time when the network's position as a supplier of media was at its maximum. In The Place to Be, Mudd instructs of how the bureau worked well: the rivalries, the egos, the pride, the competition, the ambitions, and the gathering frustrations of conveying the world to a national television audient in thirty minutes minus commercials. It is the story of a unique TV media bureau, unmatched in its quality, dedication, and professionalism and reliability. It shows what TV journalism was once like and what it's missing today.
