He is an inductee in Medill’s Hall of Achievement. In 2022, he came out of retirement to write a 50th anniversary reminiscence for Sports Illustrated of his experiences covering the 1972 Munich Olympics at which Mark Spitz’s heroics were eclipsed by a terrorist attack that shocked the world. Michael Korda, author and former editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster, says of Miami Road: “I enjoyed this book enormously. Written with a remarkable combination of frankness and love. A family story well told.”
