Other books by him include "David Brinkley" published last year by Knopf. Also "Everyone Is Entitiled To My Opinion." also published by Knopf. Brinkley was born in 1920 and raised in Wilmington, N.C., Brinkley began writing for the local paper in high school. He soon graduated to the United Press and, by WW II, was working for NBC Radio in Washington, D.C. He slowly moved into TV and was paired with Chet Huntley at the 1956 political conventions.
