Louis Rukeyser dead at 73

by Bob Sassone, posted May 3rd 2006 8:43AM

Louis RukeyserThis was one of those situations where you hear that someone has died, and that they hosted a show that is no longer on the air, and you think, "I thought that show was still on the air?"

Louis Rukeyser hosted Wall Street Week on PBS from 1970 to 2002. He was also a writer and lecturer, and worked for years at ABC as a correspondent. He died yesterday of multiple myleloma,  a bone cancer.

RIP, Louis...

I had little interest or understanding of economics, but damn it if I didn't watch "Wall Street Week" with regularity when it aired on PBS. I've read in a couple of todays obits that this was his aim as a broadcaster, to make economics palatable and accessible to people like me, and on that front, he succeeded...He was the real deal, a unique personality, and a genuine TV icon in my book, and he'll be sorely missed.
