	CJR - Don Hewitt's Durable Hour, by Richard Campbell
		Both Hewitt and Wallace have called 60 Minutes a collection of "morality plays," and one of the main strategies employed to bring gritty life to the struggle between vice and virtue is to merge reporting practices with the literary traditions of the detective novel.
		Yet Hewitt notes with pride that the show has never lost a libel case in court (although at least one suit was settled out of court, and another dragged on for a dozen years).
		Don Hewitt might wince at the New News crashing the elite news media's party; he still seems to believe in the boundaries that are now being blurred: "There's a fine line between show biz and news biz," he said in a recent interview.
