Since he joined the network in 1961, he has been in on every major battle. Coolly sucking on liquor-filled candy, he pokes his bullet-attracting camera into the action from all angles. "You can't stay in one place like a reporter," he points out. "If you stay in one place, you get one picture. We have been very lucky...
