  • 1: Veteran TV journalist DAVID BRINKLEY will retire this week. Brinkley is host of ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley." He is also getting attention this week for calling President Clinton a "bore" and for saying the President "doesn't have a creative bone in his body." But for this archive show, we went back and found and interview with Brinkley that highlights what he'll be most remembered for and that is his half century of journalism. His book, Washington Goes to War, was a surprise best-seller in 1988. The book, based on Brinkley's personal experiences and reflections, told the story of Washington in the early 40s, and how both the government and town itself were transformed by the responsibilities thrust on them as a result of the war. Other books by him include "David Brinkley" published last year by Knopf. Also "Everyone Is Entitiled To My Opinion." also published by Knopf. Brinkley was born in 1920 and raised in Wilmington, N.C., Brinkley began writing for the local paper in high school. He soon graduated to the United Press and, by WW II, was working for NBC Radio in Washington, D.C. He slowly moved into TV and was paired with Chet Huntley at the 1956 political conventions. Their immediate chemistry led to the top-rated Huntley-Brinkley Report on the NBC Network. He left NBC and to join ABC to host This Week With DavidBrinkley. (REBROADCAST from 7
