Howard Stringer
A major figure in the development of CBS News and the investigative news shows which proliferated in 1980s television, Stringer, standing 6-foot-3-inches tall with curly, strawberry blond hair, is noted for his charm. His "48 Hours on Crack Street" (1986) was the most watched news special in more than five years and his helming of "The Soviet Union--Seven Days in May" (1987) helped make it a milestone in television coverage of the Soviet Union.
