Off Camera

Ted Koppel


Here, closely observed with an insider's eye, are all the significant matters of 1999 -- from the Clinton impeachment and the war in Kosovo to the arrival of Viagra. Here too are the people (both on and off camera) who made the news -- from Hillary Rodham Clinton to Michael Jordan. But Ted Koppel doesn't stop there. He uses these personalities and events as jumping-off points for other discussions. Here is the voice we know from Nightline -- intelligent, curious, opinionated, witty -- reminding us in entertaining and thought-provoking ways that even the most public events reverberate in our private lives.
