Facing Danger:
Murrow flew on 25 dangerous bombing missions, ignoring CBS's orders not to go. His broadcast about the bombing run over Berlin in December 1943 is one of the best of his career. "Last night some of the young gentlemen from the RAF took me to Berlin. ... The small incendiaries were going down like a fistful of white rice thrown on a piece of black velvet. ... Berlin was a kind of orchestrated hell, a terrible symphony of light and flame." |
