ABC Scope was a public affairs program that appeared on the ABC television network from November 11, 1964 to March 2, 1968,[1] hosted by Howard K. Smith, the future anchor of the ABC Evening News.[2] News reporters Louis Rukeyser, Frank Reynolds and John Scali also appeared.[3] The program provided its viewer with an in-depth look at the important political, economic and social issues that the world faced in the mid-to-late 1960s. Although Smith hosted the show, the program provided its audience with one-on-one interviews of important newsmakers, documentaries on various subjects and roundtable discussions between a group of experts.
Many editions dealt with a review of the week in the Vietnam War.[4]
