 WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) - TV news executive Gordon Manning, who helped guide coverage of some of the 20th century's most significant events and arranged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's first interview on U.S. television, has died. He was 89.
Manning suffered heart failure at his home in Westport and was taken to Norwalk Hospital, where he died Wednesday, said his son, Doug Manning.
Manning started his journalism career in Boston as a reporter for United Press. He later went on to jobs as managing editor of Collier's magazine, executive editor of Newsweek and vice president of both CBS News and NBC News.
