DRAFT

Ted Koppel's daily journal of the year 1999 is a gem -- wise, profound, warm and often very funny. He ranges over both the important and the trivial, sharing his thoughts on the momentous or fleeting news of the day, his life in television and out, the culture and society of America at the turn of the century. Ted's public persona -- the balanced, intelligent, decent and fair-minded truth-seeker of "Nightline"-- turns out to reflect the private man as well. It is hard to imagine anyone who will not be captivated by OFF CAMERA.
