Anderson is one of the nations most popular campus speakers for one very important reason, Johnson continued. He brings the sometimes fuzzy issues of the day into focus, and he shows by graphic and inspiring example how one person can change the course of corruption and crime in America. Born in California and raised in Salt Lake City, the practicing Mormon held his first newspaper job at age 12 and was working on the city desk of The Salt Lake Tnbune by the age of 18. After a stint as a war correspondent in China, he joined Drew Pearsons staff in 1947. They are credited for bringing Sen. Joseph McCarthy to his knees before Congress; helping to precipitate the ouster of Gen. Douglas MacArthur; and for compelling Congress to form ethics committees. When Pearson died in 1969, Anderson took over the column. According to the Wall Street Journal, He has broken more big stories than just about anyone else in Washington. These big stories include exposing Nazi war criminals in the United States over two years before CBSs 60 Minutes reported on them; warning that Israel would bomb Iraqs nuclear facilities eight months before the fact; and reporting that Irans Shah (with the cooperation of of State Henry Kissinger) had precipitated the OPEC oil gouge four years before the story broke elsewhere. Anderson has been wiretapped, probed, followed, investigated and harrassed. He was nearly assassinated by U.S. Government agents. On the other hand, he has received the Pulitzer Prize and hes been called Americas most trusted and newspaper columnist. Former presidential press secretary Ron Nessen wrote that, Anderson exposes the bad guys and does the stories no other reporters have the guts, contacts or determination to do. y best-rea- d slated for lecture topic Ramona S.
