A true giant in US journalism, Studs Terkel, died on Friday (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7703428.stm ).
It's worth recalling the inspirational & moving interview he gave to Stephen Sackur on the BBC Hardtalk programme last February:

The US mainstream media didn't know how to handle Studs. Not surprising when you consider that, unlike the execrable Sarah Palin, Studs was a true maverick.
