PEOPLE, Page 73Larry King: The Last of the Red-Hot Liberals
By MICHAEL QUINN
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have
loved at all -- but 'tis a whole lot more expensive, as radio
raconteur LARRY KING can attest. His fifth marriage, marked by
more ups and downs than a Jon Lovitz polygraph, is kaput for
keeps. The result: a seven-figure settlement. "I'll never marry
again," says the Mickey Rooney of the microphone. "I'm a
romantic. I just don't know that marriage is the answer to
romance." King blames his matrimonial losing streak on . . .
Larry King: "I love my work most of all." That love has not gone
unrequited -- last week the National Association of Broadcasters
inducted King into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The "talk
radio" pioneer, now a cable-TV interlocutor as well, is a
defiant liberal in a field rife with conservatives -- for whom
he has little respect. "They pick easy targets. The
congressional pay. The bouncing checks. They don't take a stand
for the Puerto Rican in the community, the black, the
downtrodden -- a stand which gets you in trouble."
