Episode: Tom McCall's Way With Words

Tom McCall knew journalism (he was a journalist for 20-plus years!), he knew how to tell a story, and he loved words. No wonder he was on television and in the newspaper almost daily. Brent Walth, Russell Sadler, and Doris Penwell, Tom McCall’s executive secretary, describe his unique ability to use words to his political advantage.
