Hmmm, all these newsies are jumping overboard.

Greenfield grew up in NYC. I think his father was a teacher and is mother was a librarian. He had relatives that were lawyers in Democratic politics.
Greenfield went to U. Wisconsin-Madison where he was college newspaper editor. He went to Yale and get his LLB in 1966.
Greenfield then became a top speechwriter for Bobby Kennedy in 1968.
He quickly became a funny, incisive guest on TV shows and parlayed it into a television journalist career.
Don’t forget that Greenfield lost his cover after Ted Kennedy died and the next generation imploded.
He spent quite a long time as the liberal interlocutor on William F. Buckley, Jr’s ‘Firing Line’.
He also wrote for National Lampoon Magazine for a bit.
