Anthony Mason has been on television for so long that he’s one of those faces that you know even if you don’t know why. He began at CBS News as a correspondent in the mid-1980s, serving as the organization’s Moscow bureau chief, traversing the globe multiple times, covering everything from the collapse of the Iron Curtain to the Iran-Iraq war to the 75th anniversary of D-Day, which earned him the first of seven Emmy Awards, and interviewing presidents from Nixon to Obama and covering several elections in real time.
