If a judgment were ever rendered on all the multi-million words I
have spoken into microphones, I hope something like this could be
said: 'He [Huntley] had a great respect, almost an awe, of the
medium in which he worked. He regarded it as a privilege, not a
license.... Perhaps the best I might hope is that by some accident
of voice tone or arrangement of words I did, on a few occasions,
excite, exhort, annoy or provoke a few of my fellow human beings to
think with their heads, not the viscera'"-Chet Huntley. This
biography of NBC newsman Chet Huntley, who, along with David
Brinkley, anchored NBC's "Huntley-Brinkley Report," covers his
youth on a farm in Montana, his education and his graduation from
the University of Washington, his development as a radio
personality and news reporter for stations in Seattle, Spokane,
Portland, and his work for CBS, ABC and NBC radio and television in
Los Angeles from 1939 to 1955. It also details his move to New York
and his work on the "Huntley-Brinkley Report" from 1956 to 1970,
his retirement from the news business, his supervision of the
development of the Big Sky Ski resort in Montana, and his death
from cancer in 1974 at the age of 62.
