I'll come in, there's a little briefing, there'll be a lit- tle note. 'Tonight's guest is such-and-such! But basically I take it from the top.

His first book was an autobiography; his second, titled, Mr. King, You're Hay- ing a Heart Attack. A publisher, Delacorte, ask- ed him to do the book after the heart attack but before his bypass surgery. King donates his share of the pro- ceeds from the book, co- authored with B.D.

King says he cannot choose a favorite interview from the many he has conducted since 1960, but mentions the names of Eleanor Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson, John Steinbeck, Frank Sinatra and Danny Kaye as among his most memorable. He would like to add Laurence Olivier and Mikhail Gorbachev to that list. - A long-time sports fan, King was the radio color an- nouncer for the Miami Dolphins football team in the early to mid-70s. He still does a few Baltimore Orioles baseball games each year, for fun. One of the things he likes about Detroit is the sports.

I was a great admirer of his."
