Excerpt:
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Mike Wallace didn't interview people. He interrogated them. He cross-examined them. Sometimes he eviscerated them.

His reputation was so fearsome that it was often said that the scariest words in the English language were "Mike Wallace is here to see you."

Wallace, whose pitiless, prosecutorial style transformed television journalism and made "60 Minutes" compulsively watchable, died Saturday night at a care facility in New Canaan, Conn., where he had lived in recent years, CBS spokesman Kevin Tedesco said. He was 93.

Here he is at age 89 - looking good!

I've heard him on TV, speaking about having depression. I remember that he was very upfront about how it had affected his life. RIP Mr. Wallace.
