Ted Koppel‘s half-hour interview show, “Up Close,” is the closest thing to not doing television, says Alessandra Stanley. “Mr. Koppel does not interrupt his guests, who are given plenty of time to respond and are not pressed to spout packaged sound bites,” she writes. “There are no cloying or bullying questions, and Mr. Koppel rarely sheds his ministerial speaking style. OBSERVATION: “As an interviewer Mr. Koppel is no Barbara Walters, and he is far shorter-winded than Charlie Rose.”
