| Reporting Legend: My Memories Of Uri Dan |
| 2006-12-26 |
| December 26, 2006 -- URI Dan was, quite simply, the greatest journalist I've ever seen - and almost certainly ever will. Uri's byline was well known on these pages; for a quarter-century, he covered the Middle East - and much of the rest of the world - for The Post. His death early Sunday at 71 ended a close personal friendship of nearly 30 years. It's not just that, in the course of a journalism career that spanned 55 years, he broke hundreds of exclusive stories. He was an old-fashioned reporter - a whirlwind of energy, a perpetual motion machine who was constantly digging, questioning and probing until he got the story he was after. |
