Morley Safer wrote a heart warming tribute, saying that Wallace,“took to heart the old reporter’s pledge to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.  He characterized himself as ‘nosy and insistent.’

“So insistent, there were very few 20th century icons who didn’t submit to a Mike Wallace interview.  He lectured Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, on corruption.  He lectured Yassir Arafat on violence.”
