Louis Rukeyser, Television Host, Dies at 73 - New York Times

I always liked his show. :(

Louis Rukeyser, Television Host, Dies at 73 - New York Times:
"Louis Rukeyser, the exquisitely tailored and pun-loving television host who helped millions of Americans believe that they could get rich in the stock market, or at least begin to understand it, died yesterday at his home in Greenwich, Conn. He was 73.
AN interesting point in the article:

When
"Wall Street Week" was broadcast for the first time on Nov. 20, 1970.... The Dow Jones Industrial Average was then languishing, and the population of American mutual funds numbered a scant 323."
323 funds...wow!!!!

I first started watching Wall Street Week back in 1977. Louis Rukeyser will be missed (will we be saying the same about James Cramer one day?)
