Peabody and Emmy Award-winner Roger Mudd joined CBS in 1961, and as a congressional correspondent became a household name covering the historic Senate debate over the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In The Place to Be, Mudd describes the CBS news bureau of that era--the rivalries, the egos, and the frustrations involved in conveying world events to a national television audience in 30 minutes, minus commercials.
