He was reported killed in the Korean War. He sent a message to his news desk: "Unkilled. Uninjured. Onpressing".He said he was the only person he knew who was interested in other people's holiday photos. He once entered an Alan Whicker sound alike competition and came third. And he was travelling 100, 000 miles a year [The Times]
He was a great cross-examiner, too. The interviewee was relaxed with him and the killer question was often not needed. There would be silence and suddenly the person would feel obliged to break it and come out with the most damaging statement. Whicker would just raise an eyebrow.
