the New York Times
by Margalit Fox
For those you that are old enough to remember the earlier 60 minutes shows, one segment of the show was point/counterpoint with Shana Alexander and James Kilpatrick.
What made this segment of 60 minutes very entertaining and interesting is that the two would debate and constantly spar off each other about issues in the news.
Saturday Night Live later picked up the gag with Dan Aykroyd playing James Kilpatrick and Jane Curtin was Shana Alexander.
CBS dropped the show in 1979.
Shana Alexander died of cancer on Thursday in Hermosa Beach California. She was 79
This was back in the days when television was actually entertaining. Back when we had good journalist and investigative reporters.
How times have changed.

the good old days, can you even say that on TV anymore?
My heavens, yes! In fact, today you can role play it on TV or create a reality series, "How to Become an Ignorant Slut"!
