AS both men are quick to point out. however,
the show is a team effort And one of the least
known members of this team is photographer
Bill Mcclure, ex-editor OF the Western High
School Breeze and one-time publicity manager
and cameraman for RKO-Pathe here.
Bill, who first went to NBC in New York

Murrow on the English elections and an inter-
view with Eisenhower.
Since then he's worked on IS See 1t Nows-
including the first big story on Suez May, 1892:
the floods in England February. 1889; the
first interview with Nehru lSeptember, 1889;
Jerusalem December, 1881: the reports on South
Africa December, l954); the reports on Africa

Friendly adds that tOere he not superb camerd-
man, he "iDoEld stiH be q member OF the See 1t

It is also characteristic of the self-effacing
camera tribe that while Mcclure has great
pictures Of hundreds Of international fgures-he
hasn't one shot Of himself that isn't fuzzy and
(purposely I believe) slightly out of focus.
The most unforgettable world figures he's
worked with?
