I predict that, even as we speak, dozens of political cartoonists have started sketching out the obligatory cartoon of Mike Wallace conducting a hard hitting interview of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates:

CBS newsman Mike Wallace, the dogged, merciless reporter and interviewer who took on politicians, celebrities and other public figures in a 60-year career highlighted by the on-air confrontations that helped make “60 Minutes” the most successful prime-time television news program ever, has died. He was 93.
