SYNOPSIS: Robert MacNeil is known and admired by millions of television viewers for his accuracy, determination, and intelligence as one-half of The MacNeil/Lehrer Report, the innovative PBS nightly news program that has won every major award for excellence in broadcast journalism. But in this candid, adventure-filled memoir, MacNeil reveals his rarely seen and richly varied off-camera personality as he recalls some of the highlights of his career--the blunders and the blind luck along with the scoops, the dangerous missions, the exclusive interviews with world figures as diverse as Charlie Chaplin and the Ayatollah Khomeini. Trained as a foreign correspondent for a British news service and moving to television newscasting in England and America, MacNeil has covered some of the most important news events of the past two decades. Some of the best stories--the ones MacNeil tells his friends--took place off camera: a surreal conversation with Yevgeny Yevtushenko in a Havana nightclub during the 1962 missile crisis; being detained by the Volkspolizei in East Berlin the day after the Wall was begun; briefly talking to someone on the steps of the Texas Book Depository who may well have been Lee Harvey Oswald; "Adventures in Fairness" with Richard Nixon, who first courted MacNeil, then made him a prime target of his attack on public television; and MacNeil's unsettling discovery that he and his colleagues were covering the wrong war in Vietnam. These and many other encounters with history are re-created for us in this delightfully wry, wise professional memoir. By turns funny, moving, and exciting, The Right Place at the Right Time is an entertaining and informative insider's look at the development of television journalism and news reporting, the events it has covered and helped to shape, and at one of the major players in this always fascinating game.
