Howard Rosenberg was currently a Washington, D.C.-based producer for ABC’s “Prime Time Live.” While a student at Central, Mr. Rosenberg served as a photographer for the Register and O-Book, and went on to graduate with honors from George Washington University and to serve in the U.S. Navy. His Atomic Soldiers (Beacom, 1980) documented abuses in the nuclear testing program of the 1950s and established his credentials nationally, especially when his book served as a basis for the 1989 TNT show “Nightbreaker” starring Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez and then went on to win the Writer’s Guild Award for Best Teleplay. An award winning investigative reporter, Mr. Rosenberg worked for “The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather” from 1884 to 1990 before becoming a producer for “60 Minutes” from 1991 to 1997.
