- Murrow, Edward R. (Museum of Broadcast Communications)
Provides a profile. "Edward R. Murrow is the most distinguished and renowned figure in the history of American broadcast journalism. He was a seminal force in the creation and development of electronic newsgathering as both a craft and a profession. Murrow's career began at CBS in 1935 and spanned the infancy of news and public affairs programming on radio through the ascendancy of television in the 1950s, as it eventually became the nation's most popular news medium. In 1961, Murrow left CBS to become director of the United States Information Agency for the new Kennedy administration. By that time, his peers were already referring to a 'Murrow legend and tradition' of courage, integrity, social responsibility, and journalistic excellence, emblematic of the highest ideals of both broadcast news and the television industry in general." 11-05
- Witten, Edward - Profile (BBC News)
Known for his contributions to the "Theory of Everything" which ties quantum mechanics, the world of the very small to relativity, the world of the very large. His contributions to superstring theory is particularly noted. He has achieved "the highest honour that a mathematician can receive, namely a Fields Medal." 11-03
- Witten, Edward and "M" Theory (BBC News)
"In the last few years, physicists have learned that the different string theories discovered and studied in different ways are limiting cases of a single, more powerful theory, known as M theory. "M" stands for magic, mystery, or matrix, according to taste. Some of these developments will be explained in this lecture."
"Edward Witten, professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., is arguably the premier theoretical physicist of our time. Renowned for his many contributions to particle physics and string theory, Witten has almost single-handedly constructed a new branch of mathematical physics." 11-03
- Edwards Watch (CBS News - Rather)
"The press herd has thundered toward Kerry. With good reason: New England regional favorite Senator John Kerry, from neighboring Massachusetts, roared into New Hampshire fueled by his hard-won, upset first-place showing in Iowa. The herd loves a frontrunner so, true to form, hoof beats abound around Kerry now."
By any objective analysis, Kerry is the candidate of the moment. He deserves to be. He earned it. But if you’re looking for the candidate of the next moment, you might want to keep your eyes on Senator John Edwards."
Edwards’ showing in Iowa was at least as impressive as Kerry’s; perhaps more so, when one considers that Edwards had less money, less organization, and came from further back in the polls." 1-04
- Kerry and Edwards - Why They Got the Votes in Iowa (CBS News - McDermott)
"Voter concern about health care and the economy boosted Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry to victory in the Iowa caucuses. North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who finished second, also benefited from voter concern with these two issues, according to a CBS News entrance poll of caucus-goers." 1-04
- 02-29-04 Poll: Kerry and Bush Tied But Kerry Plus Edwards Ahead (CBS News)
"If the November election were being held today, President George W. Bush might lose his bid for re-election to an unnamed Democratic nominee. 48% say they would vote for the Democratic candidate, and 43% would support George W. Bush. In December, a CBS News poll showed Bush ahead of an unnamed Democrat by nine points."
"When specific Democratic candidates are mentioned opposite George Bush, the race becomes much closer and both John Edwards and John Kerry run about even with Bush."
"But a Democratic ticket that combines the two candidates -- John Kerry for President and John Edwards for Vice President -- has more appeal, and could give the two Democrats a solid victory over Bush and Dick Cheney." 2-04
- 07-06-04 Kerry Picks Edwards for VP Candidate (MSNBC News)
"Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry selected former rival John Edwards to be his running mate, calling him a man 'who has shown guts and determination and political skills in his own race for the presidency of the United States.' " 7-04
- Edwards vs. Cheney - A Contrast (MSNBC News)
"In his years in the House of Representatives, Cheney amassed one of the most conservative records of any member, voting, for instance, in 1986 against economic sanctions to put pressure on the apartheid regime in South Africa."
"Although he voted for the congressional resolution giving Bush the authority to use force in Iraq, Edwards has a decidedly liberal voting record on most issues. The non-partisan National Journal ranked him more liberal than 95 percent of his colleagues for Senate votes cast in 2003." 7-04
- Edwards Brings Southern Roots to Contest (MSNBC News)
"The only Democrats to win the presidency in the past 40 years have been Southerners. If John Kerry wins on Nov. 2, he’ll break that streak, but with a boost from a son of Dixie, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards."
"In style and appearance more than in ideology, Edwards offers a contrast with Kerry. Edwards is slighter and shorter than the six-foot-four Kerry; Edwards moves nimbly and has a gift for charming chatter when he meets voters; he thinks and speaks quickly; Kerry sometimes seems a ponderous orator and an awkward mingler."
"Edwards, who is 10 years younger than Kerry, is a small-town boy who went to state schools in North Carolina (as an undergraduate, he majored in textile technology at North Carolina State)." 7-04

'Ed' Murrow, (born Egbert Roscoe Murrow), (April 25, 1908 – April 27, 1965) was an American journalist, whose radio news broadcasts during World War II were followed by millions of listeners in the United States and Canada.

- Murrow, Edward R. (Eve's Magazine)
Provides stories of Murrow's life and career, including stories about his resourcefulness and courage.
"Murrow did not kill off McCarthy or McCarthyism, but he helped halt America's incredible slide toward a native brand of fascism. Unbelievable. You had to live through the times to know how fearful -- indeed, terrorized -- people were about speaking their minds."
"On the night of the broadcast, March 9, 1954, the night the spear was hurled against the terror that held America in thrall, Edward R. Murrow spoke words that should be handed down as legacy to every generation of Americans:"
" 'We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were for the moment unpopular. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of the Republic to abdicate his responsibility.' " 11-05
