After his 30th season on the iconic show 60 Minutes, Steve Kroft ended a 50-year career in journalism.
Kroft is probably best remembered for his 1992 sit-down with Bill and Hillary Clinton amid the scandal involving the former president's alleged 12-year marital affair with Gennifer Flowers. Bill Clinton, then the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, spends the 10-minute interview evading question after question from Kroft.
On this episode of River to River, host Ben Kieffer speaks with Kroft about a career spanning hundreds of stories of import across the decades. Kieffer spoke with Kroft as part of the University of Iowa College of Law's Richard S. Levitt Lecture Series.
Guest:
- Steve Kroft, retired American journalist and long-time correspondent for 60 Minutes on CBS
