Dan Schorr clocked out today, typing “-30-” to 70-plus years in journalism and 93 on the planet.
Schorr spent his last two decades as a commentator at NPR, but he got his start at age 12, when The Bronx Home News paid him $5 for a scoop. He worked for CBS, landing a first-ever sitdown interview with Nikita Khruschchev; snagged a copy of a suppressed House report on off-the-hook CIA activities and leaked it to The Village Voice when CBS balked; wound up on Dick Nixon’s enemies list; and got in on the ground floor with CNN, way back when it still had dreams of being a news organization.
Schorr won three Emmys, but never learned how to use a computer — he wrote on electric typewriters into his 90s.
He will be missed.

Our Saturday morning ritual is that I get up, let the dogs out, feed the cats, make coffee, and bring up two cups in time for Dan Schorr to join Scott Simon at 7:05. Life will never be the same.
Daniel Schoor had a perfect radio voice. Just difficult enough to listen to, but pleasurable to continue listening to. He will be missed.
Don’t forget he sang with Frank Zappa, how could he go wrong after that
