Video: "The Boys on the Bus" - 12 Years Later

Following the 1972 McGovern campaign, writer Timothy Crouse wrote "The Boys on the Bus," the seminal book on campaign reporting. As we head into a new campaign, we talk to three reporters who were on that bus — and they weren’t all boys.

Connie Chung (CBS News), who had just launched her television news career that year, Carl Leubsdorf (Dallas Morning News) and Tom Oliphant (Boston Globe) shared their stories with moderator Edwin Grosvenor, publisher of American Heritage Magazine. They discussed about how campaigns were covered that year, why the book was so important to journalism history and how campaign reporting has changed.
