Hometown: Greenboro, SC

Family: Wife, Esther (Dear Louise), 2 daughters (Dear Louise, Thespis).  One is 16 and dating a Republican named Chad (Dear Louise).  His other daughter is named Kathy and married to Douglas, a radar officer in the navy.  She had a son on November 23, 1998, after a near-crisis with placenta previa (Thespis).  His grandson�s name is Matthew (Thespis, Celebrities).

History:  He started out as a stringer for the Atlanta Journal, won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Gemini missions, and retired as London Bureau Chief for CNN, but he came out of retirement when he heard Luther Sachs was starting a cable sports division (Dear Louise).  While he once picked fights with the network a lot, he doesn�t anymore (6 Southern Gentlemen).  He covered NASA for 8 years (The Sweet Smell of Air).

Since Sports Night Started:  After he challenged Luther Sachs on the air (6 Southern Gentlemen), he was in fear of being fired and began grooming Dana (Smoky).  A few months later, after a vacation with his wife in Europe, he had a stroke at the airport (Eli�s Coming) and returned just in time to see Dana have a nervous breakdown (WkoDHiB).  He struggled to recover from the stroke and work at the same time (Special Powers) and hired a ratings guy to try and help the show (WSWtwC).  He also felt the pressure of saving the show (Bells and a Siren).
