At a memorial service Tuesday in New York, the “60 Minutes” anchor who died last month was honored with honesty. His son Chris, an anchor on Fox News, said: “Let’s be honest, at some point in time not just Morley (Safer), not just Ed (Bradley), many people in this room were not speaking to my father.” Wallace’s colleague Steve Kroft said, “There was a greatness to him, and besides the fact that he was a real pain in the ass, you knew that deep down you were never going to get a chance to be around someone like Mike.”
