COMMENTS: Two Packs a Day Voice
In the second offering of his On the Road Again tribute to his human interest predecessor Charles Kuralt, CBS' Steve Hartman demonstrated that it was not only Kuralt's eye for a story that made him a master. It was that two-packs-a-day voice, too. Hartman took us to the north woods of Minnesota where birch bark canoes are still being made--without nail or rope or fiberglass--just as Kuralt found them 26 years ago. What Hartman could not repeat was Kuralt's voice reciting The Song of Hiawatha:
Thus the birch canoe was builded
And it floated on the river
Like the yellow leaf in autumn
Like a yellow water lily.
