Yesterday news legend Walter Cronkite passed away. He was 91 and had been struggling with disease for several years. Walter Cronkite had been named the "most trusted man in America" in many viewer polls. One of the most historic events of his career was when he travled to Vietnam, came back, and read an editorial on teh air that was highly critical of the Vietnam War. President Johnson would later sahy that when he lost Walter Cronkite he lost the American public.
So, goodbye Uncle Walter, rest in peace, and that's the way it is.
