2. Big guy?

5. He's a legend. Did it all. Bureau chief of everywhere. Wrote about ...
... everything and did it well.

Johnny Apple was special.

This was scheduled for last week. Maureen Dowd, Matt Purdum, and others reminisce.

7. Maureen Dowd is cracking me up; this man must have been a
great character, and Dowd is doing a fine job of honoring Johnny Apple. RIP!

8. Tom Brokaw chatting. I'm glad I'm watching, because I didn't
realize how involved Johnny Apple was.

9. "I'll get the tab. They'd never believe you." - Johnny to his boss, ...
... Joseph Lelyveld in a really high price dining palace in some foreign port.

I love it!
