WOOD: Well, what he said at the time was that he was writing an article for a magazine. It was in many ways a pleasure.ĬHADWICK: Did you know why he wanted to talk to you? Was he a rower himself, or did he just think somehow you would be an interesting subject? What was it that made David Halberstam decide to talk to you? I mean, he was so professional about his approach to the whole process. I mean, rowing is very much a small sport from the media perspective. TIFF WOOD (Former Competitive Rower): Well, you have to understand that at the time I think I had read every one of his books prior to that, and so to me it was amazing that he wanted to speak to me in the first place. Tell me, what was it like to be interviewed by David Halberstam? He is now an actuary in Portland, Oregon, but a quarter century ago, he was trying out for the 1984 Olympics, and that's how he became the featured subject in David Halberstam's book "The Amateurs," about competitive rowing. David Halberstam also liked to write about sports.
