AWARD RECIPIENT: Ed Bradley

AWARD HONORED WORK: Reporting on nuclear missile sites in the U.S. and Russia
In two segments, the correspondent Ed Bradley and the 60 Minutes crew first took an unprecedented tour of sites where Russian nuclear missiles were aimed at the U.S. and then covered a visit to the Strategic Air Command, directly resulting from the first report, by the general in charge of Russian rocket forces. The impact was dramatic, both in understanding of what might happen if nuclear war should break out and in hopes for eventual peace.
