JOHNPAULFILO—CBS "60Minutes" correspondent Morley Safer is seen during the program's 40th anniversary celebration in New York. ByFrazierMoore The Associated Press NEW YORK Morley Safer, the veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent who was equally at home reporting on social injustices, the Ori- ent Express and abstract art, and who exposed a mil- itary atrocity in Vietnam that played an early role in changing Americans' view of the war, died Thursday, according to Kevin Tedesco, a CBS News publicist. Safer, who had been in declining health, died at his home in Manhattan. He announced his retirement last week and "60 Minutes" aired a tribute hour on Sun- day, which he watched from his home, Tedesco said. That program marked the close of a 61-year ca- reer for Safer, who, the net- work said, had the longest- ever run on prime-time net- work television. Safer, who once claimed "there is no such thing as the common man; if there were, there would be no need for journalists," was 84. "This is a very sad day for all of us at 60 Minutes and CBS News. Morley was a fixture, one of our pillars, and an inspiration in many ways. He was a master sto- ryteller, a gentleman and a wonderful friend. We will miss him very much," said Jeff Fager, the executive producer of "60 Minutes." Safer did 919 stories in his 46 years on "60 Min- utes," from his first in 1970 about U.S. Sky Marshals to his last this March, a profile of Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. "Morley was one of the most important journal- ists in any medium, ever," said CBS Chairman and CEO, Leslie Moonves. "He broke ground in war report- ing and made a name that will forever be synonymous with "60 Minutes." He was also a gentleman, a scholar, a great raconteur." Matt Lauer, host of NBC's "Today" show, of- fered "two pieces of ad- vice for young broadcast journalists: 1. Watch Mor- ley Safer's segments. 2. Re- peat step one. A true pro- fessional/original." In 1970, Safer joined "60 Minutes," then just two years old and not yet the national institution it would become. He claimed the co-host chair alongside Mike Wallace. During the next four de- cades, his rich tobacco-and- whiskey-cured voice deliv- ered stories that ranged from art, music and popu- lar culture, to "gotcha" in- vestigations, to one of his favorite pieces, which, in 1983, resulted in the re- lease from prison of Lenell Geter, an engineer wrongly convicted of a $50 holdup at a fast food restaurant who had been sentenced to a life term. Veteran newsman Morley Safer dies at 84 OBITUARY By Julie Pace The Associated Press WASHINGTON Don- ald Trump kept himself planted firmly in the po- litical spotlight this week with one headline-grab- bing move after another — launching a social media defense of his treatment of women, listing possible Supreme Court nominees, rapidly declaring an Egyp- tian plane crash an act of terrorism. His likely general elec- tion opponent, Hillary Clinton, seemed content to hang in the background. But Clinton's stay- above-the-fray attitude masks unresolved ques- tions that have gnawed at her campaign since Trump virtually locked up the Republican nomina- tion. How can the wonk- ish Clinton counteract Trump's finely-tuned abil- ity to command attention? Can she win the White House by letting Trump run on his terms, hoping his unorthodox candidacy wears thin with voters by November? Or does she need to make a positive case for her own candidacy, some- thing she has struggled to articulate during the Dem- ocratic primary? "She's going to have to do things to keep her side motivated, to keep peo- ple excited, keep it aspira- tional," said Steve Schale, a Florida Democratic strate- gist who advised President Barack Obama's White House campaigns. Clinton's unexpectedly tough battle with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders high- lights her struggle to make that case thus far. Sanders' supporters can repeat whole sections of his campaign speech verbatim. Trump's backers chime in on cue when he asks who will pay for his proposed border wall with Mexico. The former secretary of state, by contrast, throws a policy-filled kitchen sink at voters. She pledges to break down barriers to progress, build on President Barack Obama's priorities and im- plement lessons learned from her husband's eco- nomic stewardship in the 1990s. And her ability to define the race on her own terms could only get harder in a face-off with Trump, the dominant force in this presidential contest and a master of defining his op- ponents before they can de- fine themselves. "He's good at dominat- ing the news cycle and changing the news cycle to fit his purposes," said Rick Tyler, former commu- nications director for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's failed pres- idential campaign. "He has this ability to just change the trajectory of where the news is going by us- ing amazing distractions that are just too delicious to pass up." To be sure, Clinton has overcome her messaging struggles in the primary and is close to clinching the Democratic nomina- tion. But facing Trump will be another matter, with his capacity to set the tone for the day in the morning through frequent tweets and calls into news shows, catching his rivals off guard and leaving them scrambling to catch up. The last days under- scored Trump's grip on the spotlight, and his will- ingness to stay there even when attention turns neg- ative. After a newspaper arti- cle detailing his behavior with women, Trump kept the story alive by repeat- edly bashing the reporters and defending his actions. He shifted the conservation to his possible presidency by announcing a list of judges he might nominate to the high court. He then said on Twitter the roll out went so well that he might add more names. In between, Trump said he could negotiate with North Korea's leader. He called Ferguson, Missouri, and Oakland, Califor- nia, more dangerous than Iraq. And he used the word "rape" in speaking about Bill Clinton's past indis- cretions. While Clinton's cam- paign released paper state- ments responding to some of Trump's statements, the candidate herself stayed largely quiet. In an inter- view with CNN Thursday, she said Trump is "not qualified" to be president. Clinton's advisers and outside backers say they're not making the same mis- take as Trump's Repub- lican primary rivals. The GOP contenders spent months predicting the businessman's collapse un- der the weight of a contro- versial comment — or col- lection of them — and tried to avoid alienating his sup- porters while they waited. PRESIDENTIAL RACE Cl in to n gr ap pl es w it h Tr um p' s ability to stay in the spotlight MARY ALTAFFER — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE Hillary Clinton was not in the media spotlight as much as Donald Trump in the past week. RJ SANGOSTI — THE DENVER POST Marc Bern, attorney for the shooting victims, speaks to the media at Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial, Colorado, on Thursday. By Sadie Gurman The Associated Press CENTENNIAL, COLO. A verdict saying a Colorado movie theater could not have safeguarded against a shooting that left 12 people dead likely prevented a ma- jor shift in how people go to the movies by keeping the onus on the killer, rather than the public venue he chose to attack. Six jurors concluded Thursday that Cinemark was not liable for the 2012 rampage, quickly rejecting victims' arguments that, in an age of mass shootings, the theater should have foreseen the possibility of violence at a crowded mid- night premiere of a Batman film. Several survivors and families of the dead sued the nation's third-largest theater chain, saying the suburban Denver theater should have had armed guards at the summer blockbuster. There also was no silent alarm that would have sounded when James Holmes slipped into an au- ditorium and started shoot- ing. The civil case was watched closely by theater security consultants, some of whom predicted that a verdict against Cinemark would mean sweeping and costly changes to the way theaters protect custom- ers. Some experts said a loss could have forced the- ater companies across the country to use metal detec- tors or hire more security, hiking up ticket prices to offset the cost. Jurors erased that pos- sibility, deliberating for about three hours before siding with Cinemark. But theater owners would likely review their safety plans in the event of another mass movie theater shooting, said Tom DeLuca, president and owner of National Cin- ema Security, which pro- vides security to theaters across the U.S. "Theater owners are probably breathing a sigh of relief," he said. "But I can see them re-evaluating what policies they currently have so they're not put in that situation, having to be on trial and having to ex- plain why they didn't have armed security." Cinemark argued noth- ing could have stopped the armor-clad Holmes. Af- ter months of meticulous planning, he threw gas canisters into the crowd of more than 400 and then opened fire with a shotgun, assault rifle and semi-auto- matic pistol.
