The New York Times on Walter Cronkite


The New York Times has a nice video tribute to Walter Cronkite with images and footage from the assassination of President John F Kennedy, Vietnam and the moon landing, and a fine opening sentence:

“Walter Cronkite’s legacy was serving as the most trusted man in America during the biggest events of the 20th century.”

Quite a legacy. Unfortunately, the video’s not embeddable. So you’ll have to follow the link if you want to see it.
