Steve Forbes, the editor in chief of Forbes, remembers legendary NBC News economics correspondent Irving R. Levine, who died last month at 86.

Levine, NBC News.’ When NBC tried to get him to drop his middle initial, he wouldn’t do it, quipping, ‘I’d rather drop the ‘B’ in NBC.’ His distinctive bow ties were legendary.
“Levine stood out because of his ability to communicate and relay the essence of complex subjects and because he was an original personality in an industry littered with young, blow-dried anchors and reporters.”
