In his four decades as the front man for 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace earned the distinction of being hyperaggressive, self-assured, and unflinching in his riveting exposés of injustice and corruption. But during an unrivaled career interviewing with every major newsmaker of the late twentieth century, Wallace suffered from profound depression.
