CBS News producer George Osterkamp dies at 82 YouTube video by CBS Evening News

As @thedanrather.bsky.social said, George Osterkamp was one of the good guys at CBS News. A kind, generous man and an unflappable producer.

Took one of the kiddos to meet @mrwolfcomics.bsky.social for his “Speechless” book release event. Love that he took the time with each book signing/doodle. Thanks to @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social for the heads up!

—the answer, issues on sale in 09/1968.
—a screenshot of the original Bullpen Bulletins page.

I am blown away by these two kind, amazing people: @douglaswolk.bsky.social and @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social

Screenshot of “Stan’s Soapbox” a column written by Stan Lee in 1968 about bigotry and racism.

This “Stan’s Soapbox” column from 1968 has been on my mind. And I wanted to track it down.
