Walter Cronkite - 1916-2009
The most storied, trusted, and human news anchor of our time was Walter Cronkite. Covering our nation and the world from the staid and stable fifties, and through the generational shifts and upheavals and wars of the sixties and seventies, Cronkite reported on our republic’s most tumultuous years with understatement, integrity, and grace. Without Walter Cronkite keep a steady eye on things, things will never be the same. That’s the way it was, friends. That’s the way it was.
