About this listen

Hear Pulitzer-winning journalist David Halberstam and music critic Milo Miles on this edition of Fresh Air.

Halberstam died yesterday from injuries received in a car crash. He was 73. We listen to his interviews on Fresh Air, from 1985 and from June 3, 1993, and January 21, 1999.

Halberstam was part of the 1964 Pulitzer-winning team that covered the emerging war in Vietnam for The New York Times. He wrote more than 20 books on a variety of topics. They include The Best and Brightest (about the Vietnam War), The Coldest War (about the Korean War), The Powers That Be (about the media), The Fifties (about the 1950s), Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made (about basketball), and Firehouse (about fire-fighters at one firehouse on New York's Upper West Side who went to the World Trade Center on 9/11; only one survived).

Then, Milo Miles reviews Old School (on the Alligator label), the latest CD by blues singer Koko Taylor. [Broadcast Date: April 24, 2007]
