Michael White reflects on 45 years as a Guardian journalist

As the former political editor and columnist retires, he considers his career at the paper and the greatest scoop he never wrote

Michael White, the Guardian’s assistant editor, retired last week after almost 45 years at the paper as a reporter, foreign correspondent and columnist. He was political editor from 1990-2006, Washington correspondent (1984-88) and parliamentary sketch writer (1977-84). Here he reflects on his Guardian career.

When did you first know you wanted to be a journalist?
I was never a student journalist but, after failing a few interviews for industry in my final student year, I decided – correctly – that I am by nature an observer, not a doer. I was lucky in my timing: 1966 was a very good time to embark on a career in journalism.

Hanging out with the Alice Cooper band - archive, 30 June 1972

30 June 1972: The much-maligned Alice Cooper band is about to perform at the Empire Pool, Wembley. At the weekend their bandwagon rolled into Pittsburgh and Michael White flew over to hear them

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you a great American success story. If not from log cabin to White House, then at least from modest beginnings in Phoenix, Arizona, whence also sprang Jenny Jerome and Barry Goldwater, to Greenwich, Connecticut, home of some of the Republic’s super-rich. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Alice Cooper rock band.

There’s no point in pretending it’s a conventional success story, not on the surface anyway. Media penetration in the United States reached what must have been a high point last week with an Alice Cooper item in the Wall Street Journal. Over here there’s a feeling among the cognoscenti that what Billboard has described as “the best theatrical rock ‘n’ roll show since the Stones” needs more than the one previous live airing it got at the Rainbow Theatre last year to make its full impact. Hence Alice’s concert at the Empire Pool, Wembley, this evening.

Yeh Saali Aashiqui

Yeh Saali Aashiqui is the story of love gone wrong. Sahil Mehra (Vardhan Puri) falls head over heels in love with Mittee Deora (Shivaleeka Oberoi) when they first meet in their classroom. Their love story hits a roadblock when he sees her flirting with another boy in the class. But Sahil forgives her when she asks him to give her one chance. One day, Mittee is caught copying in the examination hall and she feels, Sahil is responsible for her being caught. Hell hath no fury like a woman caught copying. She decides to teach Sahil a lesson. She accuses him of trying to rape her. Sahil is arrested but instead of being sent to prison, he is sent to a mental asylum as it is revealed that he had killed his own father in a fit of fury some years ago and so he is assumed to be of unsound mind. Sahil pleads innocence and maintains in court that Mittee is playing games with him but the court does not heed his pleas. What happens thereafter? Is Sahil able to avenge his humiliation? Even as Sahil is in the mental asylum, Mittee hooks up with a rich boy, Anuj (Ruslaan Mumtaz). Also, Sahil’s past catches up with him. What is that? Does Mittee marry Sahil or Anuj?
