- 70-year career as a journalist, winning 3 Emmy Awards - "I consider my presence on the enemies list a greater tribute than the Emmys list." (reported in his NY Times obituary) - Found out he was on the list when he read his name aloud on live television. - Nixon apparently ordered the FBI to investigate him, finding nothing of interest. The harassment was not, however, because of his inclusion on the Enemies List. Nixon didn't need John Dean's help to figure out that he wanted to discredit Schorr any way possible. - was listed twice on the first list, on the "Top 20" and under "Media" - narrated the 1994 miniseries "Watergate" - Edward R. Murrow Award for Lifetime Achievement in Broadcasting, 2002

Comment:	I have always thought Schorr probably arranged to get himself put on the list. In any case he lived the rest of his life basking in his "List Martyrdom".Year in and year out anything troubling that happened anywhere he blamed on Nixon or Bush. Thank you NPR.
