entered Yale University a few months after Pearl

the Pacific, he returned to Yale to continue his

then in California, where he reported on such
people as William Randolph Hearst, Richard Nixon, and the first appearances
of Marilyn Monroe.
In 1958 he transferred to television news at NBC and later CBS.
In 1962 he took up a series of assignments in London where he lived
for eight years. He had married in 1949 and had two children, now
grown. His daughter Wendy is an educator and headmistress; his son
Steven is an editor and writer.
In 1972 he returned to Yale to become the founding director of
the Office of Public Information. From 1980 to 2010 he taught an undergraduate
seminar called "Ethics and the Media." In 1994 he was
awarded the Yale Medal.
He is the author of many articles and profiles, and among his
books are a novel called But Will They Get It In Des Moines? about
television, published by Simon & Schuster; and Sentinel Under Siege,
an historical analysis of freedom of the press in America, published
by Harper Collins.
Mr. Flink and his second wife (of 45 years) Joy live in a retirement
community in North Branford, CT, where he still lectures on the media.
Through it all, he has never lost his deep affection for Golden
Retrievers. He celebrated his 95th birthday in May of 2019.
