Remembering Bruce Morton as one of the 'boys on the bus'
The famous "Boys on the Bus" -- the gaggle of reporters who covered the 1972 McGovern/Nixon race, memorialized in Tim Crouse's book of the same name -- lost another of their number today. Longtime CBS and CNN correspondent Bruce Morton died Thursday in Washington after a battle with cancer. He was a near 30-year veteran of CBS News, who covered everything from Vietnam to Civil Rights to politics.
