Clay Blair, Jr. (May 1, 1925 - December 16, 1998) was a historian, known for his books on military history. He served on the fleet submarine Guardfish (SS-217) in World War II and later became editor-in-chief of The Saturday Evening Post. He assisted General Omar Bradley in the writing of his autobiography, A General's Life (1983), published after the general's death. Blair wrote two dozen history books and hundreds of magazine articles. His last book was Hitler's U-Boat War: The Hunted, 1942-1945 (1998), which followed Hitler's U-Boat War: The Hunters, 1939-1942 (1996). Blair's history of the Korean War The Forgotten War: America in Korea, 1950-1953 (1987) is considered one of the definitive historical works on the war. His work was notable for his criticism of American political and military leaders. Blair also wrote extensively on the submarine war of World War II, notably in the bestselling Silent Victory: The U.S. Submarine War Against Japan (1975), considered the definitive work on the Pacific submarine war. Harold Robinson "Hal" Bruno, Jr. (October 25, 1928 - November 8, 2011) was an American journalist and political analyst, who worked as the political director of ABC News from 1980 to 1999. He served as the moderator of the 1992 vice presidential debate between Dan Quayle, Al Gore, and James Stockdale. Bruno launched his professional career as a reporter for Chicago area newspapers and news agencies. In 1956, Bruno earned a Fulbright Scholarship in India to study Indian media. He worked as a South Asian correspondent for the International News Service while in India. Bruno covered some of the biggest news stories of the 1950s, including the 1956 Suez Crisis, and the Cuban revolution in 1959. He joined the staff of Newsweek magazine in 1960. Bruno worked as a reporter, foreign correspondent, news editor and chief political correspondent for Newsweek for 18 years. His foreign reports included the 1962 Sino-Indian War. He rose to become the magazine's political editor in Washington D.C. Bruno joined ABC News in 1978. He oversaw ABC News' election and political coverage during the 1980s and 1990s. As political director, Bruno packaged much of the political headlines presented by ABC's best known reporters, including Ted Koppel, Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson, and Peter Jennings. Bruno hosted the weekly radio show, Hal Bruno's Washington, on ABC Radio until 1999. Bruno received public attention as the moderator of the 1992 vice presidential debate in Atlanta on October 13, 1992.…
